What is recorded here

Doonbran Isd., Stonepark is a grassy oval trapped inside a dead river loop on the Bonet floodplain. Harrison's castle rose at the loop's narrowest throat, using the water-bound field as its own private bawn. The river forgot the path but never dried the memory, leaving a wet green room where human hands once bent the landscape to their will.
Located on the floodplain of the Bonet River, on what is now the N bank. An old loop of the river has silted up but it is still wet (Wth c. 10m; D c. 1m) and encloses an oval grass-covered area (dims c. 80m NE-SW; c. 40m NW-SE). Harrison's castle (LE014-001001-) was built at the narrowest point of the loop and the enclosed area could have served it as a bawn. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 10 May, 2016
