What is recorded here

Marked only on the 1915 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (ext. diam. c. 55m), and situated on an E-facing slope in an undulating landscape. An arc of facing stones survives SSE-W and may be the revetting of a bank or a wall but much of it is obscured by field stones. Earthwork (RO048-029----) is c. 20m to the SW and cashel (RO048-185----) is c. 140m to the SSW.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record RO048-030
