Enclosure in Lusk

Enclosure

What is recorded here

Enclosure in Lusk is a buried circular ditch, nearly forty metres across, sleeping beneath an ordinary arable field. It has no visible entrance, suggesting exclusion, ritual or forgotten ownership rather than casual passage. The land still marks it through crop growth, preserving a boundary people stopped seeing but never stopped drawing.
Located in a large arable field c. 800m SSW of Lusk Round Tower (DU008-010003-), cropmarks indicate the presence of the subsurface remains of a large circular enclosure. Small unnamed stream located c. 56m to the E. The cropmarks, visible on Google Earth imagery (June 2018), indicate an enclosure (ext. diam. c. 39.5m) defined by a ditch (Wth c. 1m) that is most clearly visible on the above aerial imagery along the W perimeter. The is no evidence for an entrance gap through the enclosure. Compiled by: Tom Condit Uploaded on: 22 April 2021
