What is recorded here
On a terrace on a N-facing slope c. 40m NNW of a stone pair (GA022-030003-). Poorly preserved circular enclosure (D 24m) defined by a low but wide (Wth 2.8m) revetted drystone wall. There is a well-defined entrance at E. A series of pre-bog field walls lie to S and W (GA020-030001-). Though cashel-like in appearance, this monument may be of prehistoric date.
