In pasture, 55m NE of Glounnacroghery Stream, N of an archaeological complex (LI048-034001/035-), enclosure (LI048-034003-) lies 90m to the W. Not marked on OSi historic maps. Described by Ó Ríordáin (1940, 86) as Site A; ‘which, though almost level, can, by careful examination, be discerned on the ground surface.’ Faint outline of circular-shaped earthwork visible on oblique aerial photograph (CUCAP BGK051) taken 17/07/1971. Monument visible as a D-shaped cropmark, intersected at E by a post-1700 field boundary running NE-SW on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimages. A linear cropmark running NW-SE depicted on the Cassini ed. OSi 6-inch map, is visible to the S of the monument. See attached plan from Ó Ríordáin, Google Earth orthoimages and oblique aerial photograph. Compiled by: Fiona Rooney Date of upload: 24 August 2021
