What is recorded here

On a SE-facing slope in pasture. A raised subcircular area (34m N-S; 32m E-W) enclosed by a substantial bank of earth and stone (Wth 5-5.2m; H 1.1m) and a shallow external fosse (Wth 5m; D 0.5m), which is identifiable only from E-S-W. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded traces of a low outer bank at E and a possible house site (LF006-062002-) in the SW quadrant of the interior, just inside the bank. Neither of these features is visible at ground level. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
