What is recorded here
An aerial photograph taken by in the 1980s (Dr Gillian Barrett) shows a series of cropmarks representing at least three enclosures (av. diam. c. 60-70m). Portion of an outer enclosing element is visible at the most western site. Not visible at ground level. The site was subject to geophysical survey (Licence no. 11R0152) and subsequent test excavation (Licence no. 12E0063) which identified a linear feature (1.5m wide x 0.4m deep) that mirrored the line of the southern side of the enclosure and may form part of this monument (Kavanagh 2012, 24).
