What is recorded here

Enclosure described by O'Kelly (1944, 18) as following: A circular earthen platform surrounded by a fosse. Around the S.W., S.E. and N.E. sides. near the edge, there is a hollow concentric with the margin of the platform. This feature is not easily explainable but it probably indicates an effort to dig away the monument. The height over the field is 2' [0.6m] and overall diameter is 192' [58m]. Situated in mashy low-land'. Monument described by Doody (2008, 135) as an 'oval ditched enclosure, c. 50m x 42m, with significant internal bank'; the morphology of this enclosure indicates that it may be Bronze Age in date (ibid.).
