What is recorded here

On a generally level area of very overgrown scrub and woodland. Hachured as a rectangular enclosure on the 1840 OS 6-inch map. A rectangular area (36m NW-SE; 32m NE-SW) defined by a drystone wall (int. H 1.1m; ext. H 1.2-1.5m; T 1.25m). The wall (Wth 2.2m; H 0.4m) has collapsed in places, particularly along the SE side, where it has tumbled inwards along the inside of a much later wall. The later wall (Wth 0.5m) is only a single stone thick and is built quite haphazardly. A small rectangular feature abuts the exterior of the enclosure at the NW end of the NE side. The interior is completely overgrown with hazel scrub and briars and is largely impenetrable, except around the perimeter. Two small hut sites (CL005-232---- and CL005-233----) are located in the S corner. The following images have been uploaded: CL005-231----_01 From SE. Cross section view of NE-wall, at its NW-end. CL005-231----_02 From ENE. Oblique elevation photo of exterior NE-wall, at its NW-end. CL005-231----_03 From NE. View along SE-wall. CL005-231----_04 From NE. Cross section view of collapsed moss-covered stone wall; later single stone wall on left side of photo. Compiled by: Mary Tunney, Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 18 December 2018
