Description
Royal Commission aerial reconnaissance on 4th July 2018 identified a rectangular, tapering enclosure measuring c. 150m x 45m diameter, lying to the north of Castellior. The enclosure is univallate with a broad ditch and a south-west facing simple entrance in the narrow, broader end. The enclosure may be a settlement enclosure or a cursus monument, but its full length and character is obscured to the north-east by an unresponsive crop. It lies to the northwest of a circular enclosure discovered on the same flight.

Discovered during the 2018 drought.

Recorded during baseline aerial reconnaissance survey for the CHERISH Project. ? Crown: CHERISH PROJECT 2018. Produced with EU funds through the Ireland Wales Co-operation Programme 2014-2020. All material made freely available through the Open Government Licence.
