What is recorded here

Located on elevated ground on the NW end of Kid Island which lies just W of Benwee Head, on the NE side of Broad Haven Bay. Circular area (26.5m NW–SE) defined by a low bank (max. Wth 2m; max. H 0.4m). The bank appears to be largely earthen with only an occasional stone evident. It is best preserved at the NW–N but is eroded out at E where there is now a small pool of standing water. There are remains of a possible house (MA003-009001-) in the W half of the interior. (Pers. comm. Michael Gibbons, 27th October 2015). Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 29 October 2015
