What is recorded here
A large roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 140m N-S; c. 145m E-W) identified by Lidar commissioned by Transport Infrastructure Ireland (pers. comm. Simon Dowling 6 December 2017) and visible on Digitalglobe (https://binged.it/2BNrS2v). Though not indicated on any edition of the 6-inch OS maps, the townland boundary on the 1st (1840) ed. 6-inch OS map and a field boundary run along the SW quadrant of monument. By the 2nd end the course of the townland boundary had slightly altered and now comes to a point at the S sector of the monument. A fosse is only visible in the SW quadrant and its preservation may be due to its former inclusion in the townland and field boundaries.
