Concentric enclosure in Dromeliagh

Concentric enclosure

What is recorded here

Situated in undulating, poorly drained pasture with good views to N and E. A field boundary bisects the site in the WSW. The monument is evident as a roughly circular area (27m E-W; 24m N-S) defined by a scarped edge (Wth 1.7-3.8m; H 0.4-0.8m) with an external fosse (Wth 2.8m). This is truncated at SW by a field boundary travelling NW-SE. Concentric with the fosse and c. 8m outside it is a low earthen bank (int. H 0.4m; Wth 2m; ext. H 0.1m). This bank is evident from S (where truncated by field boundary) clockwise to E. That area of the enclosure SW of the field boundary is partially covered by scrub overgrowth.
