What is recorded here

Situated in rough pasture on a SE facing slope. An aerial photograph taken in 1971 (FSI 2.283/4) shows a circular earthwork. It appears to be enclosed by a fosse (diam c. 25m). The field boundary in the NE curves to respect it. There are no visible remains at ground level.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record DU021-018
