What is recorded here

Situated on a gently rolling landscape. The faint outlines of a rectangular field system (dims c. 100m x. c. 50m) defined by faint single drain features is visible on aerial photograph (CUCAP: BDJ 3) in an area of c. 4 ha. (10 acres). The enclosure (WX048-024002-) appears to be connected with it, although the possible rath (WX048-024001-) is not directly connected with it.
