What is recorded here

This site is situated on low-lying boggy land. It is marked on the 1841-42 and 1914 OS maps. However on the later edition the S to W enclosing bank has been incorporated into a fieldbank. Today this site is inaccessible, so a true picture is difficult to obtain. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 1018.
