• KD004-016 Enclosure
  Description

  At the W end of a pasture ridge with commanding views to N, S and W. A large, approximately circular area (diams. 99m E-W; 92m N-S) is defined by a faint inner earthen bank N-E which is reduced to a scarp elsewhere (H 2m), and by a broad, U-shaped, outer fosse (Wth 6.3-7.9m; D 0.3-1.6m). There are two possible entrances; at the NE and E, each marked more by the shallow nature of the fosse there rather than by causeways proper. The interior rises slightly towards the centre. Visible on a 2005 aerial photograph (OSi Orthophoto) which shows the perimeter and the S-half of the interior as being overgrown. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
