What is recorded here

Along the southern boundary of Greenfield House Goodbody (1993, 30) has identified a possible section of Pale Ditch. This runs on a roughly E-W axis along a NE facing slope that falls away to a river c. 8m below surrounding ground level. It comprises a roughly continuous linear bank of earth and stone (H 1m, Wth at top 0.9m, Wth at base 1.4m) with a ditch on the southern or upper slope side (Wth 1.8m). This ditch is more apparent at the western end of the earthwork. Heavy vegetation obstructs the present views. Revised upload on: 21 April 2018.
