Enclosure

What is recorded here

One of a complex of 12 monuments (LI032-073001-/013-). Listed by O'Kelly as monument No. 11 and described in 1943 as following; 'This is a circular mound of earth and seems to be a tumulus, but as it is in an angle formed by two drainage trenches running through the marsh it is also possible that it is just a spoil heap from the cleansing of these. It has no fosse. It is 5' [1.5m] high and 36' [11m] in diameter. All these monuments, except Nos. 1 to 5 inclusive, are situated in a low-land marsh. Nos. 1, 2, 3, 10, 11 and 12 are not marked on the OS Maps (O'Kelly 1942-3, 181-2). The outline of the monument is visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs.
