What is recorded here

An aerial photograph (CUCAP, BDQ 69) showed a cropmark of a roughly circular, single-ditched enclosure (diam. c. 30m) in low-lying pasture. There is an opening in the ESE. Not visible at ground level. The site was subject to archaeological assessment (lLicence no. 07E0761) but no archaeological features identified. It was surmised that the cropmark was either a geological feature or in a different location. Subsequent monitoring found no archaeological features. Now IKEA.

A local fairy fort (ringfort/rath); wider significance not recorded.
