What is recorded here

Maperath House may have swallowed the enclosure, yet seventy metres of circular memory still resist forgetting. Two ditches, one broad and one shy, draw a ring across the eastern slope where cattle now graze. The land keeps its shape even when people stop naming it.
Located on a slight E-facing slope, on land that might once have been part of the demesne of Maperath House. The faint parchmark of a large circular enclosure (diam. c. 70m N-S; c. 70m E-W) is visible in pasture on Google Earth (02/07/2018). It appears to be defined by a wide inner and a slighter outer fosse, and it was first reported by M. Tunney. See the attached enhanced view from Google Earth (02/07/2018) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 26 July 2022
