A large oval enclosure (diam. 50m NW-SE; overall NE-SW 65m) visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (ASIAP (18) 30-33, August 1996). The W portion of the monument is in a different field and does not show up clearly as a cropmark but appears as a darker area in the field.

Explorer Tom Dunmore Cottage is a fancy gateway that thinks it’s a palace. It wants to tell the modern flats behind it to stop looking so cheap. Pretend you’re arriving in a carriage and honk an imaginary horn at the gate.

Explorer Tom Ring-ditch in Dunmore West swears by a superstition that you must tickle its edge for luck. It’s ten metres across and sits next to a much bigger enclosure, looking slightly out of place. Have a nosey, politely.

Explorer Tom Ballyfoyle Castle has a bird that refuses to leave, likely because the rent is cheap. The Purcells built it, but Cromwell’s men took over later. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
