The National Monuments Service's description
In 2000 archaeological excavation by Donald Murphy revealed evidence of a U-shaped ditch (Wth 2m; D 0.7m) belonging to a D-shaped enclosure (Bennett 2002, 318). A rotary quern and a possible rubbing stone were retrieved frrom the fill of this dicth suggesting a medieval date for the enclosure. A gap which measured 3.5m by 1.5m, evident in the north-western section of the ditch, probably functioned as an entrance. Excavation was carried out under licence No. 00E0385. A second excavated enclosure (TN020-144001) was situated nearby to the S.
