What is recorded here
One chamber held half a pint of dark water and half a pint of air. The woman drank the water, inhaled the air, and left the vessel behind. She believed ownership required surrender, not capture. The camera recorded only an empty rock shelf, but the woman remembered the weight of the chamber in her palm.
An enclosure (KE081-063----) was recorded in 2014 by Edmund O’Donovan.. During subsequent monitoring for the new forest planting it became evident that this enclosure was part of a larger group of monuments, defined by a field system of relic boundaries- some of them just visible above the present day surface of the bog- forming two roughly rectangular fields on both sides of the modern track. The area enclosed measures c. 130M N-S and c.50m E-W. Along the western side they follow the base of a steep natural scarp. In the southwest corner a further c.20m length of relic boundary extends westwards into the existing forestry. Along the eastern side three other boundaries extend eastwards; two of which appear to terminate at large natural boulders.
