What is recorded here

On a NW-facing slope, in improved pasture, 15m to SE of a townland boundary with Bunavie. Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Abutting outer fosse of enclosure (LI024-015----) at SW. Monument surveyed by the ASI in 2008 and described as a low profile, circular-shaped area (1.9m N-S; 1.2m E-W) defined by a fosse (Wth 2.1m; D 0.05m) and the remains of an outer bank (Wth 2.4m; int. H 0.05m; ext. H 1.3m). Monument is visible as a faint, roughly circular-shaped cropmark on OSi orthophoto taken 2005-2012, on Digital Globe orthoimage taken 2011-2013 and on Google Earth orthoimage taken 18/11/2018.

A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, associated with a larger enclosure complex; its proximity to the outer fosse suggests a ceremonial or funerary significance within a broader landscape of ritual activity.
