Recent aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1995) suggest that these are the cropmarks of at least two palisaded enclosures and a round house. The larger enclosure is roughly circular in shape with an internal diameter of about 50-55m. A smaller circular enclosure, with an internal diameter of about 30m, intersects it on the SW side. In the area enclosed by both these enclosures a round house is visible. It is defined by a pit-circle and has an internal diameter of about 12-15m. Other indeterminate cropmarks and pits are also visible within the interior of the enclosures.
Information from RCAHMS (KJ), 17 June 1999.
