Enclosure in Knowth — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Half a hectare of grass, ringed by a five-metre earthen bank, sits in the shallow fold between the northern rise and the Knowth ridge, just west of the burial ground. The D-shaped enclosure has watched that valley for centuries, perhaps holding herds, perhaps gathering people for rituals beside the mound. Its edges still show beneath the newer field bank, waiting for someone to walk them and imagine what life moved inside.

Located in a slight E-W dip or fold between a rise to the N and the ridge of Knowth c. 200m to the S, and just W of the burial ground (ME019-028----). This is a large D-shaped and grass-covered area (dims 50m N-S; c. 38m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth c. 5-6m) that partially underlies a NNW-SSE field bank added since 1836 (OSI 6-inch map).
