What is recorded here

Located just S of the summit of a drumlin. This is a circular grass-covered orchard (diam. 41.6m NE-SW; 40m NW-SE) defined by a scarp (at SSW: Wth 2m; H 2m) and an outer fosse (at SSW: Wth of top 8m; Wth of base 5m; ext. D 0.2m) NE-S-NW, but the perimeter is reduced to a shallow fosse (Wth of top 8.5m; int. D 0.5m; ext. D 0.2m) NW-NE and occupied by a lane NE-SE. The original entrance is not identified. Liscarney House is c. 80m to the NE and its farm buildings are just to the NE.
