What is recorded here
The site is situated in an area of improved pasture at the foot of Newtown mountain near Glencullen Village. This site is shown on the 1843 OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m). It is probably one of the circles in Ballybetagh identified in the OS Letters in 1837 (Herity 2001, 15). The enclosure is not visible at ground level.
