What is recorded here
In pasture, located on top of a hill overlooking the junction of the Carrowcor River and the Dunneill River at base of the W slope of the hill. The W slope of the hill has been partly quarried away. Oblong area (38.5m N–S; 26.5m E–W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.9m at N, 3.5m at S; int. H 0.6-0.75m; ext. H 1.7m at N, 1.2m at S. A gap (Wth 3.2m), slightly off-centre to S on the E side, probably represents the original entrance. In the N half of the interior, close to the bank at E, there is a possible subcircular hut site (SL012-037002-). In the SW quadrant of the interior, remnants of a low bank (Wth 1.3m; H 0.2m) extend from the enclosure bank at W for 8m into the interior to SE. This may be part of a structure (SL012-037003-) built against the enclosure bank. There are also traces of a possible E-W division in the S half of the interior but, at the time of visit, the remains were obscured by long grass and difficult to interpret.
