What is recorded here

Situated on a slight N-facing slope in gently undulating wet boggy pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 10m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 2 m; int. H 0.3m). There is a fosse (Wth 2.9m; D 0.2m) at the external foot of the bank. From NE-SE the bank is absent where a NNW-SSE orientated field drain (Wth 2.5m; D 0.8m) lies across the E side of the site. The fosse encloses the site SW-NE with trace remains visible NE-SW where the fosse is truncated by NNW-SSE and ENE-WSW orientated and field drains. The original entrance is not recognisable. The bank has been broken through by livestock at S, SW, W NW and N but none of these breaks appear to mark the original entrance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011
