What is recorded here

Described in Grogan and Kilfeather (1997, 81, no. 496) as 'Situated on a gentle NE-facing slope. Circular area (diam. c. 15m) defined by a fosse visible as a cropmark on aerial photograph (CUCAP, BGE 83); solid circular cropmark (diam. c. 7m) visible off-centre. Not visible at ground level.' Subsequent archaeological excavation (Licence No. 04E0744) revealed a large burnt mound (WI013-006001-) which sealed 11 troughs and a number of pits, post-holes and gullies. A charcoal sample from one of the troughs produced a radiocarbon date of 1710-1690 cal. BC. A palisade trench (WI013-006002-) was located to the S and E and this priduced a date of 1400-1120 cal. BC.
