What is recorded here
One hundred metres of vanished boundary still shadow the grass at Prusselstown, marking a lost neighbourhood where people likely herded cattle or grew grain before forgetting the way. The gentle slope holds no stone or ditch for modern hands to touch, yet the buried structure continues shaping the land beneath the pasture.
On a gentle SW-facing pasture slope. Visible on an aerial photograph (CUCAP ASU 74 (1967)) as the cropmarks of a roughly rectangular field system (est. c. 100m NW-SE; c. 70m NE-SW), together with the cropmark of an adjacent enclosure (KD035-017001-) to the NW: possibly a levelled rath and associated field system. The cropmark of a possible rectangular enclosure (KD035-017003-) in the next field to the SW, is also visible. No visible surface trace survives. The cropmark of a possible rectangular enclosure (KD035-017003-) in the next field to the SW, is also visible on this aerial photo.
