Settlement deserted

On a very gentle S-facing pasture slope, between a tower house (KD008-008001-) and bawn (KD008-008003-) to the NNW and a medieval church (KD008-009001-) and graveyard (KD008-009002-) to the SSE. A large rectangular area (dims. L c. 250m NNW-SSE; Wth c. 100m) is partly subdivided by five, parallel, rectangular terraces (dims. av. L c. 100m ENE-WSW; av. Wth c. 25m) separated by low scarps (H 0.3-0.6m), and was originally accessed to W of centre by a broad sunken trackway (designated KD008-008004-) running N from the church and graveyard (av. Wth 11m; D 0.5m; traceable L c. 100m). Parallel and c. 40m to the E, a second, shorter and much narrower sunken trackway (designated KD008-008005-) also runs N from the church and graveyard (Wth 2m; D 0.5m; traceable L 10m).
