What is recorded here

In tillage. A large circular enclosure (overall diam. c. 170m) defined by a fosse, visible on satellite imagery (Google Earth satellite image, imagery date 25 June 2018), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. On the 1st (c. 1840) ed. OS 6-inch map it is depicted as a largely curvilinear field defined by a field boundary, except on the E side where the field boundary to the N and S turns ESE and runs into the adjacent townland boundary. On this map the field is shown surrounded by marshy terrain which suggests the field is somewhat higher and forms an island of dry ground. The field boundary is visible as a cropmark on satellite imagery (Google Earth imagery date 25 June 2018). On another satellite image (Digitalglobe satellite imagery, imagery date 2011-13) the enclosure appears to extend slightly beyond the limit of the field boundary and appears to be defined by a bank.
