- SL014-012001 Embanked enclosure
Description
This site comprises a circular bank (Wth 11m, H 2.5m) which forms a rim (diam. c. 120m) around a great hollow, in which is centrally placed a circular earthwork with a level interior (diam. 75m). A sharply cut away opening in the SW of the internal enclosure corresponds with an opening (Wth 9m) in the outer enclosure. The outer enclosure has been extremely disturbed in areas around its perimeter by walls, cattle tracks and field entrances. The internal bank is less impressive in scale (Wth 11m, H 2.5m). There is no evidence for a fosse, the bank material has been scarped from the interior. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 15 March 2012

- SL014-017 Enclosure
Description
On a ridge of high ground, with extensive views in all directions. A roughly oval platform (25m N-S; 35.4 E-W) is defined to the N by a semi-circular stone wall (int. H 1.5m; ext H 0.8m; wall T 0.45m) and to the S by a low earthen scarp (H 0.17m) and a fosse (Wth 3.1m), which is discernible only at the E and W. Two stone pillars (diam. 0.9m) are located immediately S of the stone wall. These are unrelated to this monument. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011
- SL014-017001 Gateway
Description
Two modern, cylcindrical stone pillars (diam. of both 0.9m) stand 3m apart on top and close to the N perimeter of an ill-defined circular platorm (SL014-17----). They are located immediately S of the stone wall that bounds the platform on this side. The W pillar (H 2.43m) is constructed of uncoursed rubble stone bonded with mortar, with a slight plinth (T 0.1m) just above ground level. The E pillar (H 1.96m) is also constructed of uncoursed rubble stone and has a stone (L 0.30m; W 0.26m; D 0.10m) protruding from its SE side at ground level. The precise nature of these pillars is unknown. They may have formed part of a gateway and do not appear to be associated with the oval platform. (Raftery 1974, 84) J.
