What is recorded here
Noel Murphy and Caimin O'Brien identified the circular enclosure and smaller eastern ring-ditch in the south-east field corner, joining a cluster of faint cropmarks. The fort likely excluded people from its edge while giving life a boundary they could understand. It still stands as a quiet mark of human invention, waiting for curiosity rather than certainty.
Situated in SE corner of field containing cropmarks of several monuments (KD003-035-/037-/038-). Cropmark of circular shaped enclosure with entrance gap at E visible on aerial photograph taken 11/07/2018. Cropmark of smaller ring-ditch (KD003-036----) immediately to E.
