What is recorded here

The cropmark of field drains covering an area of about 3 hectares (c. 8 acres) is visible only on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during June 2018. The drains create a pattern of small rectangular fields (ME033-067001-) which overlie a subcircular enclosure (int. dims c. 26m N-S; c. 20m E-W) defined by a broad fosse (Wth c. 2m) that can be traced ESE-W-NE, which is probably a rath. There is a large quarry (diam. c. 15m) outside the enclosure but incorporating the fosse SE-S. The complex was first reported by Anthony Murphy.
