Situated on a rise in undulating pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 17m) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 3-3.4m; int H 0.6-0.8m; ext. H 1.1m-1.8m) with an external fosse (Wth 2.4m; ext. D 0.8m) which is evident only at SW. Two large quarry holes cut through the bank at N and NNE. A stone-lined break (Wth. 2.2m) in the bank at E marks the original entrance. A short distance S of the centre of the enclosed area is a low, sod-covered mound (dims. 5m x 3m), probably field clearance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
