What is recorded here
On a rise in the lower W-facing peaty slopes of Miskish Mountain with views NW to Coulagh Bay. A circular area (8.8m E-W; 8.6m N-S) is defined by a low bank (Wth 1.4m; H 0.1-0.35m) with occasional stone inclusions. A leaning and a fallen stone at SE indicate the entrance (Wth 0.5m). A dense cover of rushes obscures the level interior and the bank. A field system (CO114-071001-) is c. 60m to the NE.
