What is recorded here
Situated on top of a broad hill. The cropmarks of six enclosures that are located within 20-75m of each other on land that was once part of the demesne of Antylstown House are only visible on Apple maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during June 2018. The features are usually not cut by any of the field banks depicted on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map that are also visible as cropmarks. This enclosure (int. diam. c. 27m) is defined by a discontinuous fosse (Wth c. 2m), but the perimeter at SW is cut by the cropmark of NW-SE drains associated with a mapped field bank. The complex was first reported by Justin Kenny.
