What is recorded here

On a SW-facing slope in pasture in an area with some open karst and some hazel scrub and within a large multiperiod field system (CL017-180----). A subcircular enclosure (c. 37m E-W; c. 30m N-S) defined by a low bank or grassed over wall from E to NW and visible on Digital Globe (2011-2013) and on OSi orthophotography (MapGenie 2013-2018). From NW to E the perimeter is formed by a later field wall. Contemporary low field walls abut the perimeter at SE and SW. An enclosure (CL009-196003-) lies c. 25m to the NNE and a cairn (CL009-196002-) is c. 45m to the NNW. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 16 May 2023
