What is recorded here
On a NW-facing slope of rising ground with good views in all directions. A slightly raised circular area (diam. 22m E-W; 23m N-S) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (top Wth 1.5-2.5m; base Wth 6m; int. H 0.3-0.7m; ext. H 0.5) best preserved from S through W to N, elsewhere it has been reduced to a scarp (H 1.7m). There is a possible fosse (Wth 2.5m) from N to W only, which may be modern as it is intersected by a townland boundary which is constructed from stone with good evidence of external stone facing. There is a possible entrance gap (Wth 5m) at the SE. There has been recent clearance of scrub in the interior as evidenced by a slight mound of freshly dug earth.
