Full Description

Various boundary walls and dykes were noted by WCAS during a 2011 DBA and walkover survey in advance of a woodland creation scheme. Extensive areas of rig and furrow were also noted. Both are likely part of an extensive settlement encompassing structures either side of the road leading to Kilbeg. See report for details of individual structures.
