What is recorded here

First identified by Leo Swan and provided to the ASI by the Discovery Programme (copyright of the images vested in the National Museum of Ireland) this bivallate crop-mark enclosure was identified in oblique aerial photographs (LS_AS_35CT_00022_34m, LS_AS_35CT_00022_35m, LS_AS_67BWN_00001_05, LS_AS_67BWN_00001_07, LS_AS_67BWN_00001_11). The crop-mark consists of a central circular area (approximate diam. 20m N-S) enclosed by a fosse with an outer oval enclosure (approximate diam. 50m E-W). Faint traces of an earlier small sub-rectangular crop-mark enclosure can be seen beyond the NE quadrant truncated by the outer ditch. The enclosure is situated S of the ring-ditch of DU0110-162----.
