Per my card on The Big Easy, it’s an allemande left after the long lines and before the partner swing. But I’m away from my books for a while and can’t go back to the source. I bet I got it from The Rosen Hill Collection. 

Her note on the dance says ‘This is a very easy version of “Ashokan Hello” by Tony Parkes, for use as a first contra dance of the evening where newcomers are plentiful.‘

I wonder if Julian's notation assumes Robins right allemande unless otherwise specified. I'm only guessing. Julian?

The only change I’d suggest is Robins Allem R since that is the free hand after a swing.
