What is recorded here

Located on the gentle NW-facing slope of Windmill Hill. A magnetic gradiometer survey (17R0020) by J. M. Leigh identified two enclosures and a possible third entwined with the perimeter of the Irishtown henge. Two lengths of a possible ditch, are entwined with the signal for the ditch of the henge at the NW edge of that feature enclosing a circular area (diam. c. 30m). The feature is only visible NW-N and SE-S and would be entwined with the perimeter of a larger oval enclosure (ME038-011002-) just to the SW. See the attached illustration adapted from Leigh (2017, fig. 3) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 13 April, 2022
