What is recorded here

On a broad E-W ridge in pasture. Hachured on the first edition (1842) of the OS 6-inch map which records a circular enclosure (est. diam. c. 30m), possibly a ringfort. When inspected in 1999, no surface traces were visible, however subsurface archaeological deposits may survive undisturbed.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record CL017-042
