What is recorded here

Possibly the original access route to/from an early monastic site (KD011-002----) and visible on three aerial photographs (CUCAP AHK 11 (1963); AYR 52 (1969); BDU 45 (1970)). A broad trackway (Wth 6m N-S) is defined along it's N and S sides by a low, intermittent, earthen bank (av. Wth 4m along N; 2.2m along S; H 0.2m) which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.2m) in several places. It is traceable E-W (L 38m) and is truncated at E by the outer enclosure (KD011-002001-) of the possible early monastic site, which suggests that it may predate that enclosure and belong to an earlier phase of the monastery. At it's W end it stops at a modern field boundary and there is no obvious visible surface trace of the monument beyond to the W. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
