What is recorded here
On a flat ridge in low lying marshy terrain with Shanbally river flowing c. 30m to S. No visible trace of monument which appears as a roughly circular cropmark on an aerial photograph (CUCAP 19 July 1970 BDS 23). In this photograph the field appears to have been reclaimed and regularised but these boundaries are no longer evident and rough scrub has returned.
