What is recorded here

A bivallate circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 40m; overall diam. c. 50m) defined by two concentric fosses, visible as a cropmark on satellite imagery (2021 Maxar Technologies, viewed May 2021), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. The W side of the inner enclosure is preserved in the N-S field boundary which deliberately curves to respect the monument. Another enclosure (TS088-017----) is located c. 100m to the S. See attached photograph: TS088-087----_01 Satellite image (2021 Maxar Technologies, viewed May 2021) Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 2 June 2021
A local fairy fort (ringfort/rath); wider significance not recorded.
