• CL018-053 Enclosure
  Description

  Listed as ‘Potential Site Air Photo’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). A circular feature is clearly visible on an Ordnance Survey aerial photograph (3/6602) (photocopy in SMR file). On field inspection in 2002 the remains were not located, however, subsequent inspection as part of an archaeological assessment and testing (Licence no. 17E0440) in 2017 confirmed the presence of a circular enclosure severely truncated by quarrying. The enclosure is described in the report (Tobin 2017) as roughly circular in plan (diam. 30m E-W) and best defined from N to E. It is truncated by the quarry face to the S. It is located at the juncture between karst limestone to the W and better agricultural land to the E. From N to E it is defined by a grass-covered scarp (H 1.8m). A possibly contemporary level platform (L 6.5m; Wth 6m) is at the base of the scarp at NE (Tobin 2017, fig. 5). A block of karst limestone is placed at E and there is a local tradition that it was used as a Mass rock (CL018-110----). The remains of a bank (H 0.4m) of ‘dumped stone material’ were noted intermittently from SW to N but were largely obscured by thorn bushes. The interior is level and a curvilinear depression (Wth 1.2m; L 2.3m; D 0.45m) was noted in the SE quadrant. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 13 March 2018

• CL018-110 Mass-rock
  Description

  Towards the top of the outer E-facing scarp of an enclosure (CL018-053----) truncated by a quarry immediately to the S in an area with houses under construction. This is a very rough limestone boulder (1.18m N-S; 0.4-0.7m E-W; H 1m) with some lichen and moss and there are two other slightly smaller examples towards the NE of the enclosure. All surfaces including the top are very uneven and the top slopes to the S. Referred to by Tobin (2017, 11 and plates 19-20) as being placed this may be a naturally occurring outcrop. Tobin (ibid.) refers to an associated tradition of its being used as a mass-rock but the source of the tradition is not cited. The following images have been uploaded: CL018-110----_01.jpg From E. View of main front face of boulder. CL018-110----_02.jpg From N. View of boulder in its setting on the scarp. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 17 April 2019
