What is recorded here

Situated on top of a drumlin. A hachured mound (MO011-003002-) is depicted as within an enclosure (diam. c. 40m) only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map, and both are depicted as a planation on the 1834 edition. The internal ditch-barrow is extant but there is no evidence now of an outer enclosure, although it was recorded in 1948 (OSFM) as a circular area (diam. c. 40m N-S) defined by a scarp (H c. 1m) NW-E-SW that melded into the slope elsewhere.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record MO011-003001
