What is recorded here
On the NW edge of a marsh, c. 600m S of the Burren River. A large roughly circular enclosure (dims. c. 93m) identified as a cropmark on Google Earth Pro imagery (imagery date 14 July 2018) by Jean-Charles Caillère. The cropmark, indicating a fosse, is not visible in the S-SE sector where it may have run up to and incorporated the edge of the march. There are two parallel cropmarks (Wth apart c. 5m) running E-W just N of the centre of the enclosure. There is also the suggestion of a roughly circular, possibly bivallate enclosure in the SW quadrant, partially utilising the fosse of the larger enclosure.
