What is recorded here

Within a possible enclosure (SL032-235002-) and immediately N of a cashel (SL032-235001-). Not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps; visible in aerial imagery. This possibly a hut site is evident as a subcircular area (diam. ext. 8m N−S; 8m E−W; int. 5-6m) defined on the perimeter by a slight rise/bank (Wth 1.4m; H 0.1-0.2m) distinguished by short, yellow grass. On the W side the bank is slightly broader and flat-topped (Wth 2m; H 0.2m). A N−S field wall, which crosses the W side of the possible enclosure, lies immediately to W of the hut site, and a telegraph pole stands immediately outside the enclosing bank at its NW edge. The nature and date of this feature is uncertain.
