What is recorded here

This possible embanked enclosure was identified on Lidar cover (pers comm. Steve Davis, UCD). Located on a gradual S-facing slope under tillage. A natural ridge forms the N boundary of the monument and a curving stream the S. Extensive views of the sea to the E. There is no upstanding evidence for the monument with the possible exception of the S field boundary. It is wider in the section that may correspond to the monument and comprises an inner bank (Wth 2.8m; H 0.5m); berm (Wth 5.8m) and outer bank (Wth 3.7m; H 1m) which runs parallel to the stream.
