Full Description
Cropmarks of a possible cursus defined by pits, overlain by rig and furrow recorded by the RCAHMS in 1990. The pits, circa 40m apart, are visible for a length of circa 130m. A further row of smaller pits (each circa 2-3m in diameter) joins these about half way along their visible length. Adjacent to the south end of this row is a small circular ditch, possibly of a burial mound.
