Enclosure in Dunnamona

Situated on a W-facing slope with good views from S-W-N and restricted to E. Monument described in 1978 as a subrectangular-shaped area (dims. 52m N-S; 23m E-W) enclosed by a bank and external fosse. The low earth and stone bank is best defined from N-E-S. The fosse is visible from E-SE. A depression within the N corner of the earthwork appears to be due to modern quarrying. There is a shallow fosse on the interior of the bank at SW. In the S sector of the monument, an L shaped bank with a shallow fosse on its N side may indicate a possible house site (WM023-014001-). A wide low bank extends from the monument at NNW. Only the outline of this levelled monument is visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs.
