What is recorded here

On the Rathcroghan plateau, c. 70m E of Rathcroghan mound (RO022-057010-) and centrally placed between the arms of the avenue (RO022-057093-). Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, it is described as a circular mound (diam. c. 13.5m) defined by a fosse (Wth c. 1m) with an outer bank (Wth c. 1.8m) and outer fosse (Wth c. 1.8m) (Knox 1914a, 14, ring No. 1). It is visible now as a slight depression (diam. c. 21m). Geophysical survey confirms that it has two fosses (max. ext. diam. c. 26m) but appears to have causeways across them at WNW and ESE and there may be a central pit (diam. c. 4m). It appears to post-date ring-barrow (RO022-057013-), which is immediately to the N as its outer defining feature is slightly flattened at N. (Waddell et al. 2009, 151-2, 193). (Herity 1983, 130; 1988, 129, Tobberrory 15; Waddell 1983, 29, No. 4) This is a National Monument in state ownership: No. 294. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

Embanked enclosure, likely dating to the Bronze Age. Its central position within a ritual landscape suggests ceremonial or territorial significance.
