What is recorded here

Marked as a subcircular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 45m N-S; c. 45m E-W) incorporating the townland boundary with Ballyknock Lower S-NW on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Situated on a severe S-facing slope. This is a trapezoidal grass-covered area (dims. 42m N-S; 26m E-W at S to 50m E-W at N) defined by a field bank and townland boundary S-NW, a wide straight E-W fosse (Wth 10m; int. D 0.5m; ext. D 0.8m) at N and a scarp (H 0.8-1.3m) NE-S. It may have functioned as a bawn to tower house (WA031-006----) which is just outside the perimeter at the NE.
