What is recorded here
Located adjacent to the townland boundary, in a neglected garden field adjacent to a derelict cottage.
A small circular enclosure is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; a hachured enclosure (diam. c. 12-15m) is shown on the 25-inch plan; it is not shown on the 1930 OS 6-inch edition. A slight grass-covered rise/undulation (Wth c. 2-3m) curving in a shallow arc W–N in the N side of the field, backing onto the wall bordering the road may be a remnant of the enclosure.
