Full Description
Cropmarks of an unenclosed settlement recorded by CUCAP, the RCAHMS and AAS from at least 1976 onwards. The site lies southwest of Boysack. The air photographs show at least five circular cropmarks, each measuring about 17m in diameter, which probably represent the sites of timber houses. Close by there is a sixth circular mark measuring about 10m in diameter which appears to form the southwest corner of a narrow rectangular palisaded enclosure measuring about 35m in length by 15m in breadth. The area is overlain with later rig and furrow, oriented roughly north-south, visible as cropmarks.
