What is recorded here
On SE-facing slope, c. 40m of the Aghclare river with excellent views to NE-E but elsewhere obstructed by surrounding hills. A bowl-shaped mound defined by a high, steep-sided scarp and fosse around the base. The mound and fosse were heavily overgrown with gorse and brambles at time of inspection in 1994, which prevented measurements being taken. See attached photographs:
