Recorded monuments

• GA095-086 Concentric enclosure
  Description

  On a rise in undulating pastureland. This well-preserved concentric enclosure (diam. c. 43.3m) is defined by an inner bank and fosse which are separated from the outer bank and fosse by a flat berm (Wth c. 10m). The inner bank and fosse have been quarried out at NE and ESE. The outer bank is visible all round but the outer fosse only survives from S through W to NW. There is a stone-lined causewayed entrance gap (Wth 6m) at S. A field boundary cuts through the outer bank at WNW and SSW. Within the E sector and SW quadrant of the interior are the foundations of three possible house sites (GA095-086001-, GA095-086002- and GA095-086003-). An internal division, defined by a grassed-over bank, is evident in the NE quadrant; all these features were noted by Westropp (1919, 174-5). A souterrain (GA095-086004-) is also associated Athy (1914, 134). (McCaffrey 1952, 136, no. 34; CUCAP AVN, 13) Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 26 February 2018

• GA095-086001 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  Within the E sector of the interior of a concentric enclosure (GA095-086----). This is one of three possible house sites (see also GA095-086002- and GA095-086003-) that were initially noted by Westropp (1919, 174-5). This one consists a foundation line (Wth c. 1m; H 0.2m) that is D-shaped in plan (6.6m N-S; 4.8m E-W) and abuts the inner face of the inner bank. An internal grassed-over foundation line (L 35m; Wth c. 2m) extends from it at SW and curves across the interior of the monument towards the NW.

It consists of a foundation line (Wth c. 1m; H 0.2m), roughly D-shaped in plan (4m N-S; 4m E-W) that abuts the inner face of the inner bank. Another possible house site (GA095-086001-) lies in the E sector. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 26 February 2018
