What is recorded here

Situated on a bluff overlooking the ravine (D c. 5m) of a short SE-NW stream that joins the River Boyne c. 300m to the NW. This is a rectangular grass-covered area (dims 20.7m NW-SE; 14.6m NE-SW) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (at SW: Wth 2.75m; H 0.5-0.7m). There are two gaps (Wth 1.7m: 1.6m) on the SW side and one (Wth 1.3m) on the SE. Old quarries on the S side have damaged the S corner.
