What is recorded here
Located on a gentle S-facing slope of Donacarney Hill. The cropmarks of two conjoined enclosures are visible only on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during June 2018. The larger feature (ME021-033001-) borders a wider SSW-NNE channel (Wth c. 6m) at W, and this smaller enclosure is attached to it at S. This is an oval area (int. dims c. 17m WNW-ESE; c. 11m NNE-SSW) defined by a continuous fosse feature that it shares with the larger feature. Ditches from an associated field attach to both enclosures from the E. They were first reported by Anthony Murphy.
