• KD035-119 Enclosure
  Description

  In tillage. Visible on Apple Maps as the cropmark of a wide fosse enclosing a roughly circular area (estimated maximum diameter c. 90m). Cropmarks of narrower concentric fosses appear to run just inside and outside the main fosse, while a cropmark of another fosse from SE to S to NW may be the remains of an associated field system. A later field boundary obscures the NE limits of the enclosure (pers. comm. C. Chambers, 25-06-2015). Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 21-12-2015
