Indicated

On flat poorly drained pasture with good views in all directions. An enclosure (TS047-098----) lies 375m to the NW and Killough Castle (TS047-057----) lies 650m to the W. This monument is overgrown with trees and bushes making examination difficult. It consists of a slightly raised platform (int. dims. 32m N-S; 38m E-W) enclosed by a poorly preserved earth and stone bank (top Wth 1-2m; base Wth 2-3m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.7m) reduced to a scarp in places and outer fosse ( top Wth 3.3m; base Wth 1.2-3m; ext. D 0.8m) with no clear entrance feature visible. The bank is well preserved from W through N to NE and reduced to a scarp from SE through S to NW. The fosse is very well preserved from N to NE only, elsewhere it has been filled in. A small linear-shaped quarry has cut into the external face of the N bank at the E end (dims. Wth 1m; D 0.5m; L 5m). Field clearance debris has been dumped along the outer edge of the bank at the E side. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
