What is recorded here

The monument was apparently levelled in 1954 and by 1972 survived as a 'scarcely visible' circular area (diam. 41m) defined by a shallow fosse which could only be 'traced with difficulty'. In 1985 the site was under tillage and no longer visible at ground level (SMR file).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record KD005-005
