Concentric enclosure in Outrath

A circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) within a larger outer enclosure (diam. c. 100m) identified as the cropmark of a fosse on an aerial photograph (CUCAP BGG023, 16 July 1971). The monument is shown as a concentric enclosure on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map, though the SE-S portion of the monument from the edge of the inner enclosure appears to have been levelled by 1839. A main road (N10) formerly kinked out to respect the monument, visible on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map and 1957 revision. By 1971, visible on the CUCAP aerial photograph, the monument had been levelled and the W edge had been truncated when the road was straightened. Two enclosures (KK023-017----; KK023-018----), identified as cropmarks, lie c. 130m and c. 230m to the ESE and SE respectively.
