What is recorded here
Located on a steep S-facing slope on the demesne of Swainstown House, but it is not recorded on any map. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 45-50m) defined by a single fosse (Wth c. 3m) is visible on Bing maps (2013). It is also visible on Google Earth (21/04/2019; 04/03/2022; 28/03/2022) where it appears to have a wide entrance gap (Wth c. 35) on the E side. It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
