What is recorded here

Located on top of a fairly low drumlin known as Mullinascaria. This is a grass and rush-covered D-shaped area (dims 31m ENE-WSW; 29m NNW-SSE) defined by a scarp (H 0.8-1m) with some bushes and an external band of rushes (Wth 2-3m) E-S-N. The monument is truncated by a NW-SE field bank at NE and the perimeter is damaged by a quarry at SW. The original entrance is not identified.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record LE015-080
