What is recorded here

On a fairly steep W-facing slope, in rough upland pasture. A large circular enclosure (diam. 68.5m N-S; 73m E-W) defined by a bank (H above ext. 0.9m; Wth 2.7m) in the W quadrant and by a shallow fosse (Wth 4.5m) to the N and SE-S. The NE quadrant is truncated by a field boundary running NW-SE. A townland boundary runs NE-SW along the N perimeter. The interior, which is under grass, follows the natural slope and the ground both inside and outside is uneven. The external fosse is heavily overgrown with thorny scrub. There is another similar enclosure (KK020-004----) c. 190m to the NW. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 9 November 2020
