What is recorded here

Towards the broader, SW-end of a triangular spur of level pasture approaching the confluence of the Sweep River – flowing NE – and the Fear English River – flowing N. Reported by Jean-Charles Caillere; visible on Google Earth aerial imagery (24-3-2017) as traces of a large circular enclosure (est. diam. c. 130m N-S) defined at W by a low scarp and from NW-NE and SE-S by a narrow fosse. A possible relict field drain runs NE off the fosse at N and possible later drains cross the E sector. LiDAR imagery shows a possible internal oval enclosed area in the W sector and a second, possible rectilinear internal subdivision of the E sector. Relict cultivation ridges are also visible running NW-SE across the site and surrounding field. See attached image: KD003-048----_01 Snip of Google Earth aerial imagery dated 24-3-2017 with LiDAR image inset. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 9 June 2023
