What is recorded here

Enclosure in Castlemagner is a circular ditch about forty metres across, visible only as a faint cropmark in aerial photographs taken in July 1989. It sits within an old field system, accompanied by two ring-ditches eighty to one hundred metres away and a ringfort thirty metres to the southwest. The proximity suggests a settled landscape rather than a isolated monument, though the enclosure itself has left no standing wall or clear boundary for later people to remember.
