What is recorded here

Adjacent to a farmstead, in pasture, located on a slight rise overlooking a small river c. 40m to NW Circular platform (17m N−S; 16.2m N−S) defined by a scarp (H 0.9m; Wth slope 1.4m, at N). A central rise in the platform gives it a gently domed profile, so that the centre of the platform has a height of 1.5m above surrounding exterior ground level. This rise grades seamlessly to the perimeter on the S arc, but on the N half, it slopes more abruptly towards the perimeter and then levels out so that there is a 2-3m gap between the base of the slope and the edge of the platform scarp. Ringed with thorn bushes and beech trees.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record MA103-082
