What is recorded here

Situated in level pasture. Circular area (diam. 23m) enclosed by a stone bank of random rubble limestone (Wth 3.4m; int. H 0.6m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. From N-E, the bank has been removed and the edge of the site is defined by a slight inward facing scarp (H 0.3m). A slightly raised, roughly gravelled farm trackway skirts the edge of the enclosure N-E. The original entrance to the site is not recognisable. Two hut sites (SL003-031001- and SL003-031002-) are located on the W side of the interior. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011
