Enclosure in Aghavine — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Thirty metres of exposed earth rise above the Womanagh river scars, marking a circular enclosure where hidden passages may still cut through the ground. The southern and western boundaries align with a larger straight line stretching toward a distant field fence, suggesting the site belonged to a wider landscape rather than standing alone. People may have lived beneath or beside these marks, using the river valley for trade, ritual or refuge while the enclosure watched over them.

Parch marks (CASAP) shows roughly circular, univallate enclosure (diam. c. 30m), set above scarps leading down to tributary of Womanagh river. Marks in interior possibly indicating Man-made underground passages; one abutting S fosse, one to W. Enclosure surrounded by a narrow fosse, concentric with banks to S, to W part of a larger straight line trending SW-NE and extending almost into N field fence, to N curving into an arc c. 20m from fort, from W straight side to field fence abutting enclosure to E.

In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
