Enclosure in Grangebeg

On flat ground in terrain gently undulating to E. W end of long rectangular field is occupied by earthworks. These earthworks bear some resemblence to those indicated on the 2nd (1906) ed. OS 6-inch map. At least nine separate enclosures were identified (TS077-015003-, TS077-015004-, TS077-015005-, TS077-015006-, TS077-015007-, TS077-015008-, TS077-015009-, TS077-015010-, TS077-015011-). Mid-way along the S side of the field there is a large area (dims. 90m E-W; 43.5m N-S) defined by a bank along the W edge and by scarp along the N and E edges. The S portion of this area has been truncated by a farm road. Within the western end of this area there is a sub-rectangular enclosure (dims. 20m N-S; 15.3m E-W), poorly defined except for bank on W side. It is defined by very low, flattened banks on its other sides. An enclosure (TS077-015006-) is located to the N and another enclosure (TS077-015009-), located within the larger scarped area, lies immediately to the E.
