What is recorded here

In level, low-lying pasture. A report in 1976 (SMR file) noted that this raised subcircular area (c. 40m E-W; c. 38m N-S) was defined by a low bank of earth. It is defined by a scarp (H 0.7-0.8m) and a wide, shallow, external fosse (Wth 4m; D 0.3m). At SW it is truncated by a NW-SE field boundary. The original entrance is not recognisable. A low bank of earth and stone (probably the remains of a field boundary) is evident in the NW quadrant of the interior. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
