The National Monuments Service's description
On ground sloping gently to S, in gently undulating terrain, under pasture. Linear structure (excavated L 13m) partially excavated (Excavation number E00455) by Doody (2007, 34-35, Structure 12) consisting of a double row of stake- and post-holes representing 26 uprights (ibid. 35). The distance between the rows was 0.4-0.65m (ibid.). This has been interpreted by the excavator as a fence line running NE-SW, which could not be stratigraphically linked with any other excavated feature (TS087-007---- to TS087-007010- and TS087-007012-) (ibid.).
