What is recorded here

In low-lying pasture, cut by land drains and watercourses and bound by a townland boundary with Dunkip along the S boundary. Ringfort (LI031-025002-) is within the S half. Subrectangular-shaped area (14ha/35 acres) containing linear-shaped cropmarks, some intersecting at right angles to form a field pattern. Identified by 1:10,000 Bord Gais Eireann aerial photographs (No. 36) and on Archaeological Survey of Ireland aerial photographs (ASIAP 308, 32; 329, 6) taken 13/09/2002 and 05/10/2002) as a series of intersecting linear cropmarks in the vicinity of ringfort (LI031-025002-); one field still remains part of the modern field system. Monument is visible as a series of faint linear-shaped cropmarks on OSi aerial orthoimage taken 2005-2012 and on Digital Globe aerial orthoimage taken 2011-2013, although these are not evident on Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018. See attached Google Earth orthoimage, Bord Gais Eireann aerial photo and ASIAP. Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 2 November 2020
