What is recorded here

Located on the gentle NW-facing slope of Windmill Hill. A magnetic gradiometer survey (17R0020) by J. M. Leigh (2017) identified two enclosures and a possible third entwined with the perimeter of the Irishtown henge. An oval feature (dims c. 50m plus NW-SE; c. 35m NE-SW) is defined by a ditch (Wth c. 3m), which is evident NW-E-S. It is situated over the signal for the bank and ditch of the henge at the NW edge of that feature, and another enclosure (ME038-011003-) is entwined just to the NE. See the attached illustration adapted from Leigh (2017, fig. 3) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 13 April 2022
