What is recorded here
Enclosure in Irishtown and the hidden chambers beneath Windmill Hill remain entangled in the clay, waiting for clean air and human witness.
Located on the gentle NW-facing slope of Windmill Hill. A magnetic gradiometer survey (17R0020) by J. M. Leigh identified two enclosures and a possible third entwined with the perimeter of the Irishtown henge. Two lengths of a possible ditch, are entwined with the signal for the ditch of the henge at the NW edge of that feature enclosing a circular area (diam. c. 30m). The feature is only visible NW-N and SE-S and would be entwined with the perimeter of a larger oval enclosure (ME038-011002-) just to the SW.
