What is recorded here

A small, raised, central area (diam. c. 6m) is enclosed by a fosse (overall diam. 10.2m) which has been disturbed by military trenches. There are traces of a possible outer bank (W c. 1.5m), and the site is partially covered with gorse. (O'Riordáin 1950, 274: Site E) Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
Ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its construction and fosse features are characteristic of ceremonial or funerary earthworks of this period, though its exact significance remains unclear due to partial disturbance.
