Ecclesiastical enclosure in Stabannan — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Two ghost rings of double ditch still trace a quarter-kilometre circle around the Strabannan church and graveyard, visible only when dry soil darkens beneath passing clouds. The enclosure may have marked a sacred boundary where ordinary traffic stopped and prayer began. Its size suggests a community large enough to dig deep trenches and keep them clear for generations.

Cropmarks of two sets of double fosses visible on aerial photographs (CUCAP, BDS 67; GB89.D.30 & 46). Cropmarks appear to be circling Strabannan church and graveyard (LH015-023001- and LH015-023002-), indicating a large ecclesiastical enclosure (estimated diam. c. 250m).
