Enclosure in Loughbown

On E face of a ridge in undulating grassland. Very poorly preserved roughly oval enclosure (N-S 28m, E-W 17m) defined by a bank from SW through N to SE. A gap (Wth 4m) at N could be original. A depression runs from N through E to SE along the inner face of the bank. Irregular mounds and hollows are evident outside the enclosure at E and S.
