What is recorded here

At the E end of a low NW-SE ridge, just off the crest on a gentle E-facing slope and overlooking the SW end of Grange Lough, which is c. 100m to the S. Circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 29m E-W; 27m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 3.7-4.2m; int. H 0.6-0.9m; ext. H 0.9-1.2m) and outer fosse (Wth of top 3.3-4m; Wth of base 1-1.8m; D 0.9-1.3m) NW-E-SW which is replaced by a road elsewhere. An entrance (Wth 1m) at E is probably not original.
