What is recorded here
A broken circle of earth still marks the western half of an enclosure beside the Ardkill church, its eastern half lost beneath pasture and time. The surviving bank is low, broad and grass-smothered, yet it preserves the shape of a place where people once drew a line around what mattered.
In level, poor, rushy pasture c. 150m SE of a medieval church (KD008-009001-) and graveyard (KD008-009002-). A D-shaped area (diam. 26m NE-SW), with a straight NE side (L 65m) appears to be the W-half of an originally circular or oval enclosure. It is defined by a low grass covered, earthen bank (Wth 5.1m; H 0.4m) from S to NW, but by a modern field bank along it's straight NE side. There is no obvious visible surface trace of the E-half of the monument.
