What is recorded here

A ring-ditch (ext. diam. 5m; max. Wth of ditch 0.78m; max. D of ditch 0.4m) was partially excavated here in 2000 prior to the construction of the golf course (Excavation Licence 00E0691). 'The central area inside the ring-ditch, which was not excavated, was slightly domed in profile. Five small pits (one of which was just off centre) visible within this area were probably funerary pits.' (Deevy 2002, 363). A possible structure was uncovered 4m to the NE of the ring ditch and four small pits filled with burnt bone were uncovered in the vicinity. (Deevy 2002, 362-3).
