Orrisdale, Ballaquaggan Roundhouse

Archaeology

Folk Life Survey Air photos show a large circular cropmark which looks like a round house site. The site falls at the bottom of a slight valley on a northeast to southwest axis. The field was partly under the plough and partly under root crops when visited and no certain traces of a round house could be determined. Vague hollows and mounds that existed were thought to be part of the general unevenness of the field.


A possible circular enclosure is discernable on the 2006 Google Earth aerial photograph, measuring circa 75 metres in diameter.
