What is recorded here

Situated in level pasture at the base of a ridge. Raised oval-shaped area (dims. 36.6m NW-SE; 29.7m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (H 1.6m) with traces of a bank of earth and stone at its upper edge from SE-SSE-S (Wth. 3.5m; int. H 0.75m). At the foot of the scarp from S-W-N is a broad, very shallow depression (Wth. 4.3m). From N-NNE-NE this becomes narrower and less easily indentifiable (Wth. c.3m). Scarp and bank have been incorporated into the field boundary. Original entrance not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
