What is recorded here

Situated on a low-lying, undulating landscape. It is not depicted on an eighteenth century estate map (Wogan 1850, 26) but is represented on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map. This is a D-shaped, scrub-covered area (dims 36m N-S; 25m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth of base 2.5-3.5m; int. H 0.2-0.8m; ext. H 1.8-2.2m) WNW-NE and SE-SW, which is reduced to a scarp (at W: Wth 1m; H 1.8m; at E: Wth 2.5m; H 1.5m) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse or recognisable original entrance. The straight side is at E where the perimeter is covered by the cairn around the tower house (LE036-021003-). The graveyard (LE0356-021002-) is just to the NE.
