What is recorded here

No visible trace survives on the upper SE-facing slopes of Knockacarrigeen, but a forty-five-metre circular enclosure once stood there. It lay on or immediately outside the wall of a large hilltop enclosure, with another enclosure twenty-five metres to the southeast. The earth has swallowed the boundary, leaving only the memory of a circle drawn against the hillside.

On upper SE-facing slopes of Knockacarrigeen. Marked on OS 6-inch maps as a circular enclosure (D c. 45m) but no visible surface trace survives. It lay on or immediately outside the line of the enclosing wall of a large hilltop enclosure (GA043-033006-). Another enclosure (GA043-106----) lies 25m to SE.
