What is recorded here

Marked only on the 1928 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a circular feature, and situated on a gentle S-facing slope. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims 60m N-S; 52m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.5m) NW-ESE and by a scarp (H 0.6m at W to 2.1m at S) over a road ESE-S and lower ground S-W. A NNW-SSE field bank bisects the interior and there is a modern entrance at SE. Archaeological testing (03E0521) immediately to the NE during 2003 failed to produce any related material (Read 2006p).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record RO032-030
