What is recorded here
Situated on a small S-N spur on the E-facing side of the N-S Tara ridge. The cropmarks of three enclosures defined by fosse features, and a field system also defined by fosses or ditches can be seen on oblique aerial photographs (CUCAP: ATC 33-37) from the 1970s. The interpretation of the features is overcomplicated by Newman (1997, 206-07), but the cropmarks do not appear on any other images. The principal enclosure (ME037-002----) has an arc of an outer fosse extending from SE-W-NW as a form of crescent-shaped annexe (max. dims c. 65m N-S; c. 15m E-W).
