What is recorded here

In undulating pasture, on a low ridge. An irregular area (34m N-S; 20m E-W) enclosed by a linear earthen bank (Wth 6m; int. H 1.5m; ext. H 1.2m) on the N, E and S sides. The interior and the W side have been quarried into. A gap (Wth 7m) at the centre of the E side leads into a rectangular depression (8m x 10m) with exposed walls of rock forming the S and W sides, probably the result of quarrying.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record SL027-119
