What is recorded here

Located in meadow grass towards the bottom of a SW-facing slope of Inshatirra Island. It was first identified by Susan Curran as part of an M.A. thesis with University College Dublin using a LiDAR survey dataset commissioned by Leitrim County Council and the National Roads Authority. This is an oval grass-covered area (dims c. 60m NE-SW; c. 50m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank (L c. 30m; Wth 3.85m; int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.3m) at SE, almost parallel with a NE-SW field bank c. 10m to the SE. There is a section of bank (L 10m; Wth 3m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.2m) at SW and another (L c. 10m; Wth 3.2m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.25m) at NE, but the perimeter is not readily traceable SW-W-NE, although clearly visible on the LiDAR image. The enclosure may be a relict field.
