Oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1995) have revealed the cropmarks of an enclosure and a possible pit-circle, 1km NE of Shoretown farmsteading. The enclosure (NH c.5965 5996) is circular in shape and has an internal diameter of about 30-40m. The SW side of a possible pit-circle (NH c.5963 6007) is visible approximately 70m to the NNW, and it measures about 30-40m in diameter. A number of pits, linear features and other indeterminate cropmarks are scattered across the field.
Information from RCAHMS (KJ) 21 June 1999.
Aerial Photographic Interpretation (19 March 2014)
Following a review of the aerial photographs, the pit circle recorded previously was not identified and has been removed as a classification. The cropmarks appear to be no more than a scatter of pits.
