What is recorded here

In improved pasture, to E, S and W of Kilcredane Church (KE058-015001-). Sub-rectangular area (dims. c. 45m WNW-ESE; c. 25m NNE-SSW) defined by scarp (Wth 2.5m; H 0.25m) ENE->W; appears to represent an inner enclosure in close proximity to the church. A potential outer enclosure is traceable as a sub-rectangular area (dims. c. 90m WNW-ESE; c. 60m NNE-SSW) defined by scarp (Wth 3.5m; H 0.2m) ENE->S and SW->WNW; Curvilinear cropmark WNW->NW evident upon modern aerial photography (Bing 2015). Fosse (overall Wth 5.0m; basal Wth 1.0m; D 0.1m) traceable ENE->SE. Interior of both enclosures is generally level and grass covered. Both enclosures are bisected by a field boundary (long-axis NNE-SSW) which is to immediate E of Kilcredane Church. Not visible in field to N due to dense overgrowth of vegetation.
