Enclosure

What is recorded here

On very gradual NE-facing slope in gently undulating pastureland. An enclosure (TS081-015----) is visible c. 164m to the NE. A circular area (diam. 28.7m N-S; 32m E-W) defined by an earthen and stone bank (Wth 1.4m crest, 3.2m base; int. H 0.68m; ext. H 1.07m). Large mature trees (Irish elm or Sweet chestnut) growing around the bank with some stumps in the interior. Gap in bank in W quadrant (Wth 2.4m), appears to be the result of erosion. The bank is best preserved in the S quadrant. The landowner described the enclosure as 'a grove'. No visible external fosse. This enclosure may be a tree-ring or a ringfort modified for ornamental planting. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 07 January 2014
