What is recorded here
On elevated area of a gentle S-facing slope, in undulating pasture, with good views of Knockseefin/Pallashill to WNW (O'Dwyer 1964, 96). Not depicted on OS historic mapping. Surveyed by the ASI in 2008 and described as a raised circular-shaped area (8m N-S; 7.25m E-W) enclosed by a bank (int. H 0.16m; ext. H 0.25m; Wth 3.55m) only visible from E-S-W-NW, elsewhere reduced to a scarp (H 0.4m; Wth 1.25m). A wide earthen field boundary running E-W (resembling a trackway), and a field drain are visible to the immediate S. Ring-barrow (LI024-053002-) and possible barrow (LI024-053003-) lie c. 50m to SW and E respectively. A high concentration of barrows are located within a 300m radius of this monument. Monument is not visible on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimages taken 28/06/2018.
