What is recorded here

Two substantial earthen banks and a deep intermediate fosse enclose a raised oval area measuring 51 metres by 43.5 metres in Lisduff. The eastern edge shows corresponding breaks in the banks with an accompanying causeway, marking the original entrance where the outer defences were partly destroyed. A slight depression sits in the centre of the internal area, waiting for the foot traffic and domestic life that shaped it long before modern measurement.
