What is recorded here

On the E portion of the exposed summit of Turlough Hill, in association with a large cluster of hut sites (CL006-017001-) to the N and W that avoid the ‘enclosure’ area and a large cairn (CL006-017002-) at the W end of the summit. A multivallate enclosure or labyrinth-style feature (diam. c. 35m), irregular in plan and comprising four low, partly concentric ‘banks’ (Wth c. 1m; H c. 0.2m) of gravel and slabs, discovered through aerial survey and difficult to see at ground level. The banks are in some parts very fragmentary, poorly defined and overlapping while well defined in others. This is likely to have had a ceremonial function.
