What is recorded here
In rough hill pasture, on a SW-facing slope of Knocknagorraveela Mountain. A circular area (diam. 4.9m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.55m) which protrudes above the surface of the bog. There is a possible entrance at W. The SW portion of the interior is raised (H 0.4m) and the NE portion is cut (D 0.8m) into upslope to compensate for the hillslope. Loose stones are scattered around the enclosure externally.
