What is recorded here

Located on slight east west rise within massive open field-field boundaries long since removed. Extensive views to the high land of the north and sourth to the Dublin Mountains. Just to the east is an ancient road (DU015-125----). Visible as cropmark on Bing aerial (viewed 28/01/2015). A geophysical survey (Licence no. 08R0326) of the site was undertaken in advance of a proposed road realignment. A fragmented curvilinear response 38m in diameter thought to represent a sub-circular ditched enclosure was identified. Within interior are several pit type responses as well as pits, postholes, ditches and gullies. Probable entrance to the south into what appears to be an annex. Within this area there is thought to be burning or burnt material. An outer ditch was also identified and although responses were faint it would appear to measure 57mEW x 69mNS (Harrison 2008).
