What is recorded here

Raised circular area (int. dims. 32m NNW-SSE; 29.5m ENE-WSW) enclosed by three low and much-denuded earthen banks with accompanying fosses, the outermost one of which may be modern. Breaks in the two inner banks with traces of a possible blocked-up break in the outer bank almost certainly represents original entrance. Site has been planted with trees.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record CV026-061
