Enclosure

What is recorded here

A large semicircular enclosure situated on a SE-facing slope of rising ground in an upland area overlooking a mountain valley with higher ground above the site to the N. Originally a circular enclosure, the present remains consist of a semicircular area (dims. 52m SE-NW; 60m E-W) enclosed by a bank (Wth 5m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.7m) and external fosse (Wth 5m; D 0.3m) which survives from NW through N to SSE. The site is intersected by a road from SSE to S running along an E-W axis and from S to W by a field boundary aligned on a N-S axis. No entrance feature visible. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien.
