What is recorded here

On the N-facing slope of hill in undulating pasture. An oval area (diam. 32.2m N-S; 37.7m E-W) enclosed by a well-preserved bank (Wth 2.6m crest, 7m base; int. H 0.25-1.3m; ext. H 1.4-2.4m) and outer fosse (Wth 3.5m; D 0.35m). The outer fosse has a lot of bank slip making it appear quite narrow. There is an entrance (Wth 1.6-2m) downslope in the N quadrant. The bank has been somewhat denuded in the S and W quadrants by cattle. The bank reduces in internal height above the interior and increases above exterior on the NW downslope side.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record TS086-012
