There is no trace above ground of the subcircular enclosure (DG054-008----) shown on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch maps. It was situated near the crest of a small rise in good land with good views. This is the site indicated on the aerial photograph, (St. Joseph, ATB 98). The photograph shows some internal divisions within the enclosure and a second subcircular enclosure (DG054-008001-)attached to the N apparently of a slightly smaller diameter.
