Enclosure in Baldoyle — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

A rectangular enclosure is visible on an aerial photograph (CUCAP, AIG 95) taken in 1970. The enclosure, a possible moated site was originally situated in low-lying marshy ground. It was built over with the Seagrange housing estate in 1973. However the Grassroots Archaeology project, a community archaeology projec,t has over the past two seasons endeavoured to locate the remains of the monument in the gardens and open space of the housing estate. The open space was subject to geophysical survey (Licence no. 13R026) and identified the location of a natural spring and anomaly that may represent a leat. While test-excavation (Licence no. 13E0238) has yet to identify the enclosure ditch, medieval pottery has been recovered.
