What is recorded here
Towards the bottom of a gentle NE-facing slope overlooking the NW corner of Lough Funshinagh, a large turlough. Described as a circular area (diam. 27m E-W; 25m N-S) defined by an earthen bank and slight traces of an outer fosse, and with an entrance (Wth 2.5m) at E (Gannon 1972). It is not now visible at ground level in reclaimed pasture. Hut-site (RO045-080002-) is c. 30m to the SW, and a section of the Lurag (RO045-079----) survives just to the E.
