What is recorded here

On the SE-facing slope of a low drumlin hill. A raised oval area (26m NW-SE; 20m NE-SW) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 5-6m; H 0.4-1m) with a shallow intervening fosse (Wth 4m; D 0.3-0.9m). Due to the construction of modern field boundaries the fosse is not visible from SSE-S-W. A short segment of an outer bank (Wth 5m; H 0.7m) is identifiable at SSE. A break (Wth 3m) in the bank at SE may mark the original entrance. The interior slopes appreciably from WNW-ESE. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 11 January 2012
