Indicated

In undulating grassland, in the former demesne of Cappagh House. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a circular tree-planted enclosure. The trees appear to have been removed by the time of 3rd ed. (1931) when it appears as a plain circular enclosure (D c. 40m). According to local information, it was removed during land clearance some twenty years ago, but is remembered as an elevated area of tree stumps surrounded by a earthen bank and outer fosse. No visible surface trace survives. Possibly a tree-ring or a landscaped ringfort.
