What is recorded here

On level terrain, in the grounds of Crotta Demesne. A roughly circular area (diam. 39m N-S; 36m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (ext. H 1.7m; int. H 0.6m) and a fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.5m). There are breaks in bank at NNE (Wth 4.5m) and NE (Wth 4.5m) respectively. The level interior appears to have been used as a kitchen garden, apart from several large dead trees situated on the bank, it is largely clear of vegetation. A small roughly circular earthen feature (diam. c. 4.4m) is situated against the internal bank face at E. Compiled by: Matt Kelleher Date of upload: 28 January 2014
