Ceremonial enclosure in Windmillhill

This regular circular enclosure has been described as a series of narrow and weakly magnetic curving responses and trends (Target, 2018). It is most clearly visible in imagery from W to S to E, it fades from view further NE and NW and is truncated at the N by the current edge of the quarry which runs from NW to NE. It was first identified in geophysical analysis carried out on foot of previous research (Ó Lionáin and Davis, 2014). The enclosure (diam. 170m) encircles the hilltop at Windmill hill containing DU021-010----, a continuous ring-ditch at its centre. Just off-centre to the NE of DU021-010---, is DU021-009---- a cairn, and the windmill DU021-038----. It is most clearly visible in imagery from W to S to E, it fades from view further NE and NW and is truncated at the N by the current edge of the quarry which runs from NW to NE. It lies within the confines of a hillfort possible DU021-112----. Beyond the ceremonial enclosure, approximately 80m to the south-east, is a ring-ditch DU021-013----.
