The enclosure was confirmed by Sineád Phelan in two trenches (03E0375) (Phelan 2006, 503, No. 1901). The site was subsequently completely excavated (03E1033) by Áine Richardson. It has been dated to the middle Bronze Age (Walsh and Sutton 2015, 3). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
