Cronk y Doole
Archaeology
Iron Age settlement.
Set on low lying land, this circular earthwork consists of a raised central mound surrounded by a concentric ditch.
The site has been subject to ploughing, but in the past the mound has been recorded as 38m in diameter, with a flat top of 22m diameter. It is raised an average of 0.8m above the surrounding ground. The ditch is on average 8m wide in the N and NW, and 0.3m deep.
In the SE the mound is mutilated by a SW-NW stream on the other side of which no surface trace of the ditch survives in the adjoining field.
There is no visible trace of an entrance or of stonework.
The site is similar to those excavated by Bersu (PRNs 0007, 0008).
