A small, partially overgrown circular area (diam. 6.4m) is defined by a very shallow fosse (Wth 1m). The track of a footpath is visible crossing the W limits N-S and vehicle tracks run over the S limits. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
A ditch barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its location near the Black Pig's Dyke suggests possible ritual or territorial significance in a landscape marked by prehistoric monuments.
