A very slightly domed, circular area (diam. 8.3m) is defined by a narrow, shallow fosse (Wth 1.8m; D 0.15m). Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
Ditch barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its location within a group of possible ditch-barrows suggests a ritual or funerary landscape of regional significance.
