What is recorded here

Located on just W of the summit of a NE-SW drumlin ridge, and overlooking the small Drumloo Lough which is c. 130m m to the NW. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 39.8m NW-SE) with some mature trees defined by an earthen bank and hedge S-W, which is reduced to a scarp (H c. 2m) elsewhere. At NE farm buildings have destroyed the perimeter and probably the original entrance.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record MO008-006
