What is recorded here

Aerial photograph (GB89.T.16, July 1989) shows cropmark of a single line of closely spaced pits in close proximity to two ring-ditches (KK010-154----, KK010-156----). The alignment runs NW to SE and then curves back on itself to the SW forming a 'V-shaped' structure or possibly a trapezoidal enclosure. There is an enclosure (KK010-141----) c. 160m to the N and a number of other ring-ditches (KK010-157----; KK010-157001-; KK010-157002-; KK010-191---- and KK010-192----) to the S-SW which have also been identified as cropmarks.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record KK010-155
