What is recorded here

Located at the tip of a slight E-W spur. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 50m) defined by a distinct fosse (Wth c. 2-5m) is visible only on an OSI aerial image (1995). A second fosse c. 5m inside the outer is visible N-E and what might be a rectangular annexe (dims c. 40m NW-SE; c. 27m E-W) defined by a single fosse is attached at SE. The enclosure was first reported by Colin Byrne. See the attached enhanced view from OSI images (1995) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 20 April 2023
