What is recorded here

In good pasture, on a level raised terrace, marked by a steep slope to NNE, which gives way to a gentler, undulating fall of ground levelling out to bog on the margins of Island Lake (now drained). It is overlooked to S by a hill. A circular hachured enclosure is shown on the 1916 OS 6-inch map. It has been levelled but its outline (diam. c. 20m) can still be partly traced. An ephemeral undulation at SW–NNW delineates the W arc and a curving scarp (H 1m) is cut into the natural slope at N–NE, now crossed on the N edge by a straight NW–SE field wall. The E–SE arc of the enclosure is truncated by a linear NE–SW property wall. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 14 June 2022
