What is recorded here

Situated at the N edge of a low ridge. Raised circular area (diam. 27m) enclosed by a wide, low earthen bank (Wth. 6m; int. H 0.4-0.8m; ext. H 1.3m at E, 2.3m at SW). A low area in the bank at NW may mark an original entrance. Within the internal area, which is saucer-like in profile, is a possible souterrain (SL012-059002-). Located against the inner face of the bank at NNW is a circular depression which may mark the remains of a hut site (SL012-059003-). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
