• KK019-022001 Ring-ditch
  Description

  A small circular enclosure (diam. c. 10m) identified as a cropmark of a fosse on an aerial photograph (CUCAP BGG033, 16 July 1971). Another ring-ditch (KK019-022002-) was identified c. 90m to the NNW, a possible enclosure (KK019-022003-) c. 65m to the NW, as well as a relic field system (KK019-022004-) which appears to post-date the ring-ditches as one of the field boundaries runs roughly NW-SE across KK019-022001-.

• KK019-022002 Ring-ditch
  Description

  In a field utilised as a GAA sports ground. A small circular enclosure (diam. c. 10m) identified as a cropmark of a fosse on an aerial photograph (CUCAP BGG033, 16 July 1971). Another ring-ditch (KK019-022001-) was identified c. 90m to the SSE, a possible enclosure (KK019-022003-) to the SE, as well as a relic field system (KK019-022004-) which appears to post-date the ring-ditches as one of the field boundaries runs roughly NW-SE across KK019-022001-.

• KK019-022003 Enclosure
  Description

  The faint outline of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 15-20m) identified as a cropmark of a fosse on an aerial photograph (CUCAP BGG033, 16 July 1971). A ring-ditch (KK019-022001-) was identified c. 65m to the SE, another ring-ditch (KK019-022002-) c. 55m to the NE, as well as a relic field system (KK019-022004-) which appears to post-date the ring-ditches as one of the field boundaries runs roughly NW-SE across one of the ring-ditches (KK019-022001-).

• KK019-022004 Field system
  Description

  Field boundaries running NNW-SSE and ENE-WSW identified as cropmarks of ditches on an aerial photograph (CUCAP BGG033, 16 July 1971). Two ring-ditches (KK019-022001-; KK019-022002-) and a possible enclosure (KK019-022003-) were also identified as cropmarks on this aerial photograph. A field ditch, running roughly NNW-SSE, runs along the E edge of one ring-ditch (KK019-022002-) while running through the other ring-ditch (KK019-022001-), with the ENE-WSW running across the enclosure, which suggests that the field system post-dates the enclosure and the ring-ditches.
