What is recorded here
Listed in the SMR (1989) and RMP (1995) and classified 'Enclosure'. In a hollow, c. 100m S of the Owenmore River. Indicated on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a roughly rectangular area planted with trees and on the 1913 edition as a circular area, also planted with trees. Upstanding remains comprise a subcircular area (int. diam. 27m) enclosed by a low broad earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.5m). Traces of an external fosse (Wth 4m; D 0.4m) are evident along the SE arc. Mature horse-chestnut trees grow within the interior. This is likely to be post-1700 AD in date.
