What is recorded here
On low-lying ground to NW of Eskerstephen graveyard (GA045-050002-). Aerial reconnaissance in July 1968 (CUCAP AVM 44) revealed a vegetation mark comprising two strongly curving concentric lines. These possibly form part of a field system or a large enclosure associated with the graveyard. No visible surface trace survives.
