Enclosure

What is recorded here

One of a complex of 12 monuments (LI032-073001-/013-). Listed by O'Kelly as monument No. 12 and described in 1943 as following; 'This consists of a very low rectangular mound surrounded by a fosse. Outside this, on the north, east and south sides there is a low bank, This does not occur on the west side, but here it is likely that it was taken away to provide material for a cart track which runs through the marsh and passes close to the monument on the west side. It stands near platform No. 8 and measures 75' north-south by 40'. All these monuments, except Nos. 1 to 5 inclusive, are situated in a low-land marsh. Nos. 1, 2, 3, 10, 11 and 12 are not marked on the OS Maps' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 182).
