What is recorded here

An elevated position under tillage. Human bones have been exposed (Healy 1975, 24). There are no visible surface remains. There is a tradition of a chapel at this site (DU011-042001-). The area was subject to geophysical survey (Licence no. 12R0059) undertaken in advance of a proposed development. Anomalies suggestive of an archaeological complex measuring 100m north-south were identified. These are characterised by a circular enclosure (c.55m diam.)within which are numerous responses indicative of pit features. Associated rectilinear responses extend from the enclosure some of which may be contemporary (Leigh 2012, 8). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 08 January 2015
