What is recorded here
In pasture, located on slight N–facing slope, on top of a broad ridge, with extensive views E to Killala Bay. A factory complex is located 70m to E.
Slightly raised, circular area (27.5m N–S; 27m E–W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.7-0.9m; ext. H 1.3m). At SE–SW the bank is incorporated into a later field fence which respects the curve of the enclosure. There are ephemeral traces of cultivation ridges, on a N–S axis, in the level interior. There is an eroded gap (Wth c. 3m) at NE, but it is unclear if this represents an original entrance.
The bank is rather low and degraded in parts, with area of erosion by farm stock. It is ringed with gorse and brambles, with blackthorn at SW. The interior is grassy.
