On a gentle WNW-facing slope, in the foothills of Knockseefin, in reclaimed pasture. Enclosure (LI024-143003-) iimmediately to NE and enclosures (LI024-143002-/001-) lie 45m to WNW and 70m to NE, respectively. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. Monument identified by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 73(01): AP 4/3681) as a roughly rectangular-shaped earthwork. Monument is visible as a rectangular-shaped earthwork (approx. dims. 43m NW-SE; 30m NE-SW) on Digital Globe orthophoto taken 2011-13. Vague traces of this earthwork are visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 25/03/2017. Linear earthworks in this field may be related to post-1700 land reclamation and may not be the remains of an archaeological enclosure.
See attached Google Earth orthoimage and Bruff aerial survey image labelled Bruff 73(01).
