What is recorded here

Enclosure in Dunmore West is a hidden 50m circular ditch on a gravel ridge above the Nore valley, visible only in aerial photos because grass and woodland now cover it. It still faces the river, holds its shape under foot, and waits for someone to walk its missing edge.

Slightly below the crest of a NW-SE gravel ridge along the E side of the Nore river valley, in rolling grassland. There are fair to good views in all directions. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) delimited by wide fosse from E-S-W identified as a cropmark on a number of aerial photographs (CUCAP ASW041, 17 July 1967; AVO092, 17 July 1968; BGG 039, 16 July 1971; BOD030, 10 July 1973). A strip of woodland plantation, which runs roughly E-W to the N, encroaches into the NW-N sector. It is not visible at ground level. There is another enclosure (KK014-052----) c. 80m to the SE.
