What is recorded here

Marked on 1888 and 1909 editions of the OS 6-inch maps; an irregular enclosure (max. dims. c. 60m ENE-WSW). No visible surface remains. Depicted on first edition of the OS 6-inch map as a subrectangular enclosure and on the current edition as a semi-circular or D-shaped enclosure. No surface remains visible at time of inspection as field was in tillage. Shape of monument on first edition of the OS 6-inch map would suggest that it may have been a moated site. Subrectangular enclosure (approx. dims. 50m E-W; 44m N-S) with straight side at NE (L 45m) which is intersected at NW by a field boundary now removed running on a NE-SW axis. Site was probably levelled when field boundary removed.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record LA001-001
