Ecclesiastical enclosure in Carns — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

On a SE-facing slope at the E end of the Carnfree ridge, and surrounding the church (RO028-075005-) and all other features. Oval enclosure (dims 130m E-W; 88m N-S) defined by an earth and stone bank best preserved at N (Wth 3m; max. int. H 0.8m; max. ext. H 1m) but frequently reduced to a scarp (H 0.2-0.5m) and largely removed N-E. It has an out-turned entrance (Wth 4m) at E with a rectangular platform (RO028-075007-) inside the entrance on the N side. It encloses the bivallate enclosure (RO028-075009-) recorded in remote sensing (06R0081). Excavation (06E0655) of a section of the perimeter at S reveals it is a drystone-built wall (Wth 2m). A charcoal filled trench outside it at S is interpreted as a corn-drying kiln (RO028-075013-) (Shanahan 2006, 7; 2009a, 455). See the attached aerial images taken from the SE (001) and NW (014).
