What is recorded here

Marked as a D-shaped embanked enclosure (ext. dims c. 40m NW-SE; c. 35m NE-SW) truncated at SW by a field boundary on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a rise in a low-lying landscape. The location is now occupied by St John's Roman Catholic church, which was built in the early 1840s (Beirne 2000, 279). Archaeological testing (04E0305) c. 60m to SE failed to produce related archaeological material (Read 2007). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
