What is recorded here

In undulating upland terrain on the lower SW slopes of Carrigadoon Hill, under grass. Identified on an aerial photograph taken in 1973 (GSI S.500/499) as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 60-70m) with a curving field boundary forming the E quadrant. This field boundary has been removed and the enclosure is not visible at ground level. The terrain is very rough and appears to be an unlikely location for an enclosure.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record TS079-028
