What is recorded here

Situated on a fairly level landscape. Aerial photographs by Conor Newman show three enclosures within a field system covering about 2.5 ha (c. 6 acres). They also appear on aerial photograph (GB89.M06) and can be seen on Bing images (2013) and Google Earth (12/07/2013; 14/07/2018). The fields are regular rectangular areas (dims c. 100-150m x c. 30-50m) which fit within the current field system and are probably fairly modern. It was also photographed by Noel and Conor Murphy in July 2018.
