What is recorded here

Situated on a slight S-facing slope in gently undulating upland pasture. Raised oval area (dims. 42m N-S; 22m E-W) enclosed by an earthen scarp (ext. H 0.4-1.7m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The scarped edge is higher SE-SW than elsewhere to compensate for the underlying natural slope. From NE-SE the scarped edge has been straightened off by a N-S orientated track that abuts the E edge of the site. A break (Wth 2.5m) in the scarped edge with a ramp to the exterior marks the position of the original entrance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011
