Enclosure in Tober — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

This site has been levelled. According to local information the site formerly comprised a circular area enclosed by a low bank which was overgrown with bushes. The field in which it was situated had just been ploughed when last visited. Pre-development test-trenching was carried out by Eoin Sullivan under licence no. 05E1151 at the site of the proposed Moyally O2 telecommunications tower, site compound and associated access road. The site is located to the south-east of Moate village. An enclosure (SMR 1:5) is located c. 100m to the east of the proposed development. The site was assessed on the basis of four mechanically excavated test-trenches, on 7 October 2005. No soils or features of archaeological significance were encountered during the excavation.
