What is recorded here

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 28m) enclosed by a low earthen bank and a wide, deep fosse. Outer earthen bank identifiable from ENE-SE-SSW appears to be the result of modern excavation of the fosse which now forms part of the field drainage system. Narrow break in bank with accompanying causeway at E represents original entrance.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record CV028-039
