What is recorded here

In a forestry plantation, situated in level, poorly drained land adjacent to the NE bank of the Easky River. Depicted as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 15-20m) on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map, and not shown on the 1913 edition. Dense tree cover impeded an inspection in 1993 and no trace of this possible enclosure was found.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record SL017-047
