What is recorded here

Geophysical survey (Licence no. 12R127) undertaken by the Discovery Programme as part of the ‘Late Iron Age and “Roman” Ireland’ project identified an oval enclosure (42mEW x 30mNS) with what has been interpreted as having a narrow ditch or palisade trench. The survey results in the eastern half of the enclosure suggest the likely presence of burnt material. Two well defined breaks, each measuring c. 5m in width, occur on the NE and SE sides of the enclosure and may reflect original entrances; that on the NE appears to be flanked by pit-type features, possibly post-pits (Dowling 2014, 16).
