Enclosure in Kildromin

Enclosure

What is recorded here

Kildromin holds a twenty-metre circular enclosure cut by a post-1700 field boundary, lying fifty-five metres from another enclosure and one hundred forty-five metres from a ringfort. Aerial photography in 1986 first revealed its cropmark, while modern images show the fosse still tracing that forgotten shape beneath reclaimed pasture. The land has been reused so often that human memory slipped through its fingers, yet the earth kept the boundary line sharp enough for satellites to read.
In reclaimed pasture immediately N of a field boundary running NE-SW. Enclosure (LI033-064----) lies 55m to SW and ringfort (LI033-002----) 145m to NE. Not depicted on historic OSi maps. Identified from Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 49; AP 4/3632) as a roughly circular-shaped cropmark. Visible as a circular-shaped area (diam. c. 20m) defined by a fosse, transected at SSE by a post-1700 field boundary running NE-SW on OSi orthophotos taken between 2005-2012 and on Google Earth orthoimage dated 20/09/2020.
