What is recorded here
Yes. That is the clarity requested. No hidden driver, no repeated claim, no new assumption.
An elevated position under tillage. Human bones have been exposed (Healy 1975, 24). There are no visible surface remains. There is a tradition of a chapel at this site (DU011-042001-). The area was subject to geophysical survey (Licence no. 12R0059) undertaken in advance of a proposed development. Anomalies suggestive of an archaeological complex measuring 100m north-south were identified. These are characterised by a circular enclosure (c.55m diam.)within which are numerous responses indicative of pit features. Associated rectilinear responses extend from the enclosure some of which may be contemporary (Leigh 2012, 8).
