Enclosure in Brackyle

In reclaimed pasture, on a slight knoll, 75m SW of forestry. A possible enclosure (LI024-132----) lies 110m to SE. Not depicted on OS historic mapping, although area of monument is defined on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map by a linear boundary running NNW-SSE, to E and is defined on the revised 1897 ed. OS 25-inch map by a curvilinear field boundary from SE-S-SW-WNW. Monument identified as a subcircular-shaped earthwork by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 116: AP 4/3676). Monument is visible as a suboval-shaped cropmark (approx. dims. 26m NW-SE; 20m NE-SW) on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13. Vague traces of the earthwork are visible on Google Earth orthoimages taken 28/06/2018. See attached Google Earth orthoimage and Bruff aerial survey image labelled Bruff 116.
