What is recorded here

On the summit of slight E-W orientated ridge in gently undulating rocky pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. c.7m) defined by a drystone wall (Wth 1.5m; int. H 0.8m). The stone wall encloses the site on all sides. It is constructed of large blocks of irregular rubble with a rough internal and external facing. A WSW-ENE orientated relic field wall links to the enclosure wall at SW. The original entrance to the site is via a break (Wth 1.1m) in the wall at N. A bullaun stone (SL003-034002-) is thought to be located in the now overgrown interior.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record SL003-034001
