What is recorded here

Situated on a level terrace in undulating, rough pasture. Raised circular area (diam. c. 25m) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 3.8-5.8m; int. H 0.35m at NW, 1m at E; ext. H 1.7 at NW, c. 2m at E). Remnants of an external fosse (Wth. 4m; ext. D 1m) are evident at NW. At the outer lip of the fosse are ephemeral traces of a possible second bank (Wth 3m; H 0.2m). In the E part of the interior there is an abrupt drop in ground level and a slope down from W to E. Densely covered in overgrowth. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
