What is recorded here
In rough pasture, to the NW of a conifer plantation, on slight E-facing slope of Caher Hill. Depicted on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map as a raised circular-shaped area, defined by a scarp. Not marked on subsequent editions of the OSi maps. Surveyed in 1999 and described as a poorly preserved oval-shaped scrub-covered mound (dims. 8m N-S; 10m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.15m) with fosse from E-S-SW (Overall Wth 7.3m; base Wth 2m; int. D 1.5m; ext. D 0.2m). No surface remains visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-2013 and on Google Earth orthoimages. See attached sketch plan surveyed and drawn by ASI and Google Earth orthoimages
