What is recorded here

Situated at the N edge of the valley of a small W-E stream that is c. 70m to the S. The cropmark of a circular enclosure defined by an inner (diam. c. 35m) and outer (diam. c. 55m) fosse features is visible on aerial imaged (ME048-045_1 to _3) taken in July 2018. The inner feature appears to be entire but the outer is D-shaped, backing onto the scarp down to the valley floor. It is not visible on any other aerial images. Compiled by: Michael Moore on details provided by Noel and Conor Murphy. Date of upload: 7 August, 2018
