What is recorded here
Situated on an undulating landscape c. 100m NE of the concentric enclosure (ME020-075----). A remote sensing survey (12R0080 ext.) conducted during 2014 recorded the southwest portion of a bivallate enclosure. This consists of at least two ditch circuits that are closely spaced (ext. dims c. 40m NNW-SSE; c. 30m ENE-WSW) and are evident S-NW, with elements of an associated field system to the west and southwest. The ditches are strongly magnetic, indicative of possible burning. The remainder of the enclosure extends beneath an 18th century tree plantation on the NE side. (Ní Lionáin and Davis 2016, 159)
