What is recorded here
In undulating pasture with good views in all directions. This possible enclosure was discovered in 2013 during the course of a review of LIDAR data where it is visible as a low circular bank-like feature (diam. c. 27m) (pers. comm. Dr Steve Davis, UCD). The monument has been levelled but the outline of a shallow circular depression marks its site. No other features are visible. A ringfort (LF015-047----) and an enclosure (LF015-093----) lie c. 90m to the WNW and SSE respectively.
