What is recorded here

Situated on the summit of a small E-W ridge that is known as ‘Shane Hill’. An aerial photograph (CUCAP: AHM 12) shows a small rectangular enclosure (dims c. 15m N-S; c. 10m E-W) defined by a bank and outer fosse on top of the hill. It has since been removed, but It may have been a small moated site.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record ME042-002
