What is recorded here
On a gentle SW-facing slope. Circular grass-covered area with mature deciduous trees (diam. 55m E-W; 54m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.9-5.65m; int. H 0.4m at N to 1.4m at SE; ext. H 1.6-1.7m) NW-N-SE, reduced to a scarp (H 0.4m at S) elsewhere. There is a fosse (Wth of top 8.8m; Wth of base 4-4.8m; D 0.2-0.55m) W-N, but there is no visible entrance. The perimeter is truncated slightly by a NW-SE field wall at SW, and the standing stones (RO015-051001-; RO015-051003-) are inside the perimeter at SW, the first with an ogham inscription. In 1985 a second ogham stone (RO015-051004-) was discovered in the bank that became dislodged and is now lying on top of the bank at SW (SMR file).
