What is recorded here

The subcircular enclosure, marked on the second edition of the OS map, and a number of associated walls are located in boggy pasture on the lower SW slopes of Knocklomena mountain. The enclosing element is a wall of rough construction which survives one to two courses in height. The enclosed area measures 10.5m internally, and is occupied by a small plantation of pine trees. The apparently associated field system (KE091-018----) extends S and W of the enclosure. Cork University Press (1996), no. 750.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record KE091-018001
