What is recorded here

Situated just W of a local summit with rock outcrop. This was described in 1968 as a circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 28.4m E-W; 26.4m N-S) defined by a stony bank (at N: Wth of base 2m; Wth of top 0.5m; int. H 0.85m; ext. H 1.1m). There are gaps at NW and SSE (Wth of base 1.2m), but the latter is probably the original entrance. Adjoining the perimeter at W is a rectangular enclosure (MO015-003002-) (int. dims 5.5m N-S; 7.2m E-W) defined by banks of earth and stone at W and N and the cashel wall at E, but it is open at S. The monument had become completely overgrown with furze by 2000 (OSAP).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record MO015-003001
