- CAUSEWAY (Early Iron Age to Medieval - 700 BC to 1539 AD)
Description
Sheahan states that there were 5 entrances (B2).
Later sources conflict with this (B1,B4).
Both later sources agree the only entrance is in the SE. The entrance has grown from being slight (B4) to bulldozer width! (B1, note 5).
The gap does not carry across the ditch (B5).
