What is recorded here

In pasture, situated on an E-facing slope. Named 'Lissadrone' on the 1838 and 1922 OS 6-inch maps. Raised circular area (diam. 25.2m) defined by a substantial bank (Wth 3.6m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1m), and enclosed by a wide, shallow fosse (Wth 4.8m) with a low counterscarp bank (Wth 3.1m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.2m). The fosse and external bank are largely levelled from NNE–SSE. A partly blocked up break (Wth 2.6m) in the bank at SE may represent the original entrance. The wall footings of a rectangular house (MA014-012001-) project into the interior from the internal face of the bank at E. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 6 February 2015
