Located in a large arable field, on an alluvial terrace, c. 170m S of the W-E running Ward River. This field is on lands formerly associated with Irishtown House (demolished), which lay c. 190m to the SSW. Now within open field W of M2. Another ring-ditch (DU010-001----) is located c. 267m to the ENE. There has been widespread levelling of field boundaries as shown on the Ordnance Survey maps. The site is best viewed on Google Earth Coverage of 7 May 2017. The ring-ditch was identified as a circular feature evidenced by a positive cropmark (ext. diam. c. 16m) defined by a ditch (Wth c. 2m). There is no evidence for an entrance gap through the ditch. Fragments of linear features and maculae are visible in general vicinity. The site was first reported by Mr. Paul Steen. Compiled by: Tom Condit Uploaded on: 22 April 2021
