What is recorded here

Situated at the crest of the NE-facing slope of a broad N-S ridge. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 35m; ext. diam. c. 60m) defined by what are probably two fosse features (Wth c. 2-4m) separated by a berm (Wth c. 5m) on the site of a bank is visible only on Google Earth (01/02/2018). The defining features are only visible S-W-N as the enclosure is bisected by a N-S field bank and there is a small planted wood E of this. It is probably a rath and was first reported by Jean-Charles Caillére. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 2 April, 2019
