Enclosure in Saltee Island Great

Located at the NE point of the Great Saltee Island, on a low-lying, level, grass and fern-covered landscape. An arc (C 26m) of an earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 1m; ext. H 0.5-1.4m) with an external fosse (Wth of top c. 4m; max. ext. D 0.4m) SE-SW clearly seen in the cliff sections defines the monument at S, with clay cliffs (H c. 3m) elsewhere (int. dim 11.8m N-S). There is a possible entrance (Wth c. 4.4m) at the SE end of the arc. Part of the foundation course of a circular hut site (int. dims 7.9m E-W; 4.8m plus N-S) is within, but most of the perimeter SW-N-SE is missing. It may be an eroded ringfort. There are two rectangular structures (WX051A-001----) c. 20m to the S in the 'Abbey Field'.
