Indicated

In pasture, located on the top of a ridge, close to the break of slope at S. There are extensive views to NNE–W over a broad sweep of countryside, and to N−NW along the top of the ridge. This enclosure is not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps, but a shallow N–E arc is shown in the townland boundary on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, and a semi-circular arc of field boundaries curving W–E is shown on the 1916 edition. On the ground, a semi-circular area (diam. c. 60m E–W) roughly conforming to the contours of the hill is defined by an earth and stone field fence (Wth 2m; H 1.2m) with an accompanying external field ditch. The crown of the hill, comprising a fairly level area (diam. c. 25-30m) is located within the area defined by the arc of field fence. There is no clear evidence that this constitute a rath or archaeological enclosure. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 20 December 2021
