What is recorded here

Marked as a small circular enclosure (diam. c. 10m) defined by a field bank in an area of small fields only on the 1940 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is situated on a level landscape that has been largely reclaimed, with the E shore of Lady’s Island Lough c. 60m to the W. This is a subcircular grass-covered area (int. dims 8.75m E-W; 8.25m N-S) defined by granite boulders of various sizes that have probably been deposited on the perimeter as field spoil (Wth 2-3m; H 0.2-0.7m). There is some evidence of an underlying bank at W, and there is an entrance gap (Wth 0.5m) at ENE. It may be a barrow.
