On level pasture. The site's limits appear to be defined N-E-SE by a low, hedged, earthen field bank (int. H 0.5m; Wth 5.7m; ext. H 0.6m) with a recut drain (Wth 2.2m; D 1.3m) outside. Elsewhere the enclosing element is not visible at ground level, but there is a faint, low, oval rise (H 0.2-0.4m) in the interior. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
