What is recorded here

Immediately SE of a tower house (KD008-008001-). A very poorly preserved rectangular area (dims. L 35m NW-SE; Wth 27m) is defined by a low grassed-over stony bank (Wth 2-3m; H 0.2-0.4m) along the NE, SE and SW, and by the tower house along part of its NW side. Along the SE there are traces of an outer, shallow fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.3m) which runs off to the NE, beyond the site limits.
