What is recorded here

Situated on a gentle S-facing slope. A gradiometer survey (21R0044) of about 15.5 ha (c. 40 acres) identified a circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 34m) defined by a single fosse that has an entrance gap (Wth c. 3m) at E. The enclosure is faintly visible on OSI Aerial Premium images (2013-18). The enclosure was archaeologically tested (18E0550 ext.) by Donald Murphy (2021) when the rath ditch (Wth 2.52m; D 0.9m) was encountered and elven possible pits were identified in the interior. See the attached image from Murphy and Breen (2021, fig. 5) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 19 April 2022
