What is recorded here

On a shelf of level ground on a S-facing slope. A raised oval area (30m N-S; 25m E-W) enclosed from NW-NNW-N by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.7m; H 0.2-0.95m) and elsewhere defined by a scarp (H 0.55-1.35m). A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded an external fosse, which has since been infilled. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
