What is recorded here

Situated at the crest of the SW-facing slope of a broad hill. Discovered prior to road construction (Excavation Licence 03E0890). Located on top of a drumlin, overlooking Lisanisk Lake and crannóg (MO031-037----). Excavation revealed a double ditched enclosure (diam. 60m) with a causeway entrance at the SE. Two possible structures were identified within it. An articulated human skeleton was recovered from the upper fill of the outer ditch. Finds included medieval pottery and a number of iron objects.
