What is recorded here

On top of a N-S ridge with good views in all directions, with Clogher Castle (TS46-038----) c. 70m to the NW and Clogher Church (TS46-039001-) c. 200m to the SSW. There are faint traces of several low earthworks immediately to the S of Clogher Castle which may be part of the castle defences, however, the low earthworks do not form any clear discernible pattern. The earthworks include a possible enclosure (TS046-052001-) identifed on an aerial photograph (GSI S.585/4 8.4.1974).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record TS046-052
