Archaeology Notes

NH54NW 28 524 490.

NH 524 490. Air photography has revealed the crop-mark of a ring-ditch 450 m SE of Ardnagrask Mains farmhouse; it measures about 12 m in diameter. (Visible on RCAHMS air photograph RC 1801-3, flown 1977).

RCAHMS 1979

Further aerial photographs have been taken of this enclosure. It is possible that there is an entrance in the N. Various linear features and pits are visible across the field, though they may be geomorphological rather than man-made. (See Archive for details.)

Information from J Harden 1989.
