Enclosure in Borrisbeg

A rectilinear enclosure (dims. c. 40-50m NNW-SSE and WSW-ENE) identified as a cropmark on aerial photographs (ASIAP (110) 2, 4, 7, 10, 12-13, 22 July 2000) in the corner of a field, with an upstanding field boundary running roughly ENE-WSE across the N side and another running NNW-SSE through the E side. There appear to be two fosses defining the enclosure. On the OS Ortho satellite imagery a cropmark is visible c. 20m N of the ENE-WSW field boundary which appears to be the N side of the enclosure. There is another cropmark, probably an old field boundary, which appears to be associated with this enclosure, possibly running NW from its NE angle for c. 30m before turning SW for c. 150m. Another curvilinear cropmark (KK012-087----) c. 180m to the SE appears to a field boundary.
