- DU014-021 Field system
Description
Situated in very low-lying terrain, dissected by drains. Aerial photographs taken in 1971 (FSI 2.411/10) show a series of linear trenches and curving low earthworks. These may be part of a medieval open field system. Geophysical survey (Licence no. 07R156) undertaken in advance of proposed development identified subtle responses and trends may indicate agricultural activity but not its antiquity. Probable drainage features were identified. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 22 January 2015
- DU014-105 Enclosure
Description
A circular enclosure visible as a crop mark on an aerial photograph together with other features that could indicate a possible field system (DU014-107----) and a further enclosure (DU014-106----) (SMR file; pers. comm. T. Condit). Compiled by: David O’Connor Date of upload: 5 November 2013

- DU014-123 Enclosure
Description
This monument was identified from geophysical survey (Licence no. 09R195) and confirmed by test excavation (Licence no. 10E0459) as part of the proposed Metro West development. It is a circular enclosure (30m diam.) characterised by a U-shaped ditch (1.1m-2.2m wide by 0.45m deep). Although undated its form, size and shape are consistent with that of a severely truncated early medieval ringfort (O’Donovan 2010, 16).
