Situated on the summit of a broad E-W spur overlooking the N-S Glenshana stream c. 550m to the W. It has been described as having three banks and fosses (FitzGerald 1858m 23-4). This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 36.4m E-W; 36.1m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 5.8-7.6m; int. H 0.2-0.7m; ext. H 1-1.6m) with an outer fosse (D 0.3-1m). The entrance (Wth 5m) and causeway are at ENE. This is eccentrically placed within a larger enclosure (dims. 74m E-W; 72m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 3-5m; max. int. H 1m; ext. H 0.6m at W to 2m at E) with some stone-facing and a modern entrance at NNE. Three radial banks connect the inner and outer enclosures; two at SSE may represent a roadway (Wth 5.5m). A Man-made underground passage (WA021-008002-) is in the interior of the inner enclosure. Anon. (1897) Proceedings, JRSAI 27, 270-72. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 21 February 2011
