What is recorded here

Monument survives as an oval-shaped field in grassland 160m W of a local road and approx. 170m SW of a stream that forms the townland boundary with Coolnahila. The tree-covered perimeter is intersected by field boundaries at SW, NW, NE and SE. Depicted as a large oval-shaped area enclosed by a bank on the 1840 OS 6-inch map. The 1897 OS 25-inch map depicts a roughly oval shaped area (approx. int. dims. 82m NE-SW x 55m NW-SE) defined by a scarp with spring well 25m to the SE. Google Earth orthoimage taken 2018 shows the monument as an oval-shaped field enclosed by a tree-covered a gap in SE that could be a modern livestock entrance. An external ditch is visible on this image from SE through S to SW.
