What is recorded here

Situated on a fairly level landscape. Aerial photographs by Conor Newman show three enclosures within a field system (ME036-057001-) and it is also visible on Bing images (2013). This enclosure (diam. c. 30m) is defined by a single fosse feature (Wth c. 2-4m) and it has an internal circular feature (diam. c. 15m) defined by a narrow trench feature inside the perimeter at N. The rath (ME036-057003-) is conjoined with its fosse at SW. It was also photographed by Noel and Conor Murphy in July 2018.
