What is recorded here
Located close to the S boundary of a large arable field, c. 2.2km S of the town of Skerries and 900m SW of the Irish Sea coastline at Holmpatrick, cropmarks indicate the presence of the subsurface remains of a possible ring-ditch. The ring-ditch, visible on Apple Maps imagery (June 2018), comprises a circular feature (ext. diam. c. 19m) defined by a ditch (Wth <1m). There is no evidence for an entrance through the ditch.
