What is recorded here

Located on a slight E-facing slope down to Lady’s Island Lough. The cropmarks of rectangular fields (dims c. 50m x c. 50m) covering an area of c. 60 acres (c. 24 ha) are visible on aerial photographs (CUCAP, ASZ 35, BDI 95, BDI 97; ASIAP, WX (105) 26-30). The fields are partially visible on the OSI series of aerial photographs (2000) and form strips running E-W. The ring-ditch (WX053-010003-) and rath site (WX053-010002-) are within the fields but not necessarily connected with them. No features are visible at ground level in root crops.
