What is recorded here
Kellistown East holds a circular enclosure thirty-two metres wide, nested inside a larger boundary and positioned immediately south of a burial ground. The finished shape has vanished from the visible land, yet the soil still records it through differential crop growth. That is often the truest monument: a dead structure continuing to speak through the behaviour of living things.
In tillage. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 32m) visible as a cropmark on Google Earth (imagery date 14 July 2018) identified and reported by Simon Dowling. It lies within a larger enclosure (CW008-036005-) and is immediately S of a burial ground (CW008-036001-).
