What is recorded here

Situated on a slight S-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Raised oval area (dims. 33m E-W; 31m N-S) enclosed by an earthen scarp (ext. H 1.3m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. A now disused quarry hole has removed the scarp edge and part of the interior SSW-W. A NNE-SSW orientated drystone wall crosses the E side of the interior intersecting with the scarp at NE and at SE. The scarp has been mostly removed (ext. H 0.3m) to the E of the field wall. The original entrance is not recognisable. The footings of a small structure (SL005-127002-) is located the NE quadrant of the interior on to the W of the stone field wall. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011
