In flat wet pasture abutting the townland boundary with Drombeg on its NE side. A ringfort (LI031-089----) is located 200m to NE and Castle Ievers (LI031-088----) is 550m to SSW. Not depicted on historic OSi maps but is visible on both the OSi orthoimages taken 2005-12 and on the OSi Digital Globe orthophoto taken 2011-2013. Identified by ASI aerial photographic survey in 2005 (ASIAP (18/09/2020)) as a large sub-rectangular shaped enclosure (ext. dims. c. 120m ENE-WSW; 60m NNW-SSE). A relic field boundary orientated NNW-SSE depicted on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map bisects the W quadrant of the large enclosure. The enclosure is visible on Google Earth orthoimages taken 05/04/2006; 16/03/2016; 25/03/2017 and 14/02/2020. These images reveal a second ditched rectangular-shaped earthwork (ext. dims. 31m NNW-SSE; 39m ENE-WSW) or annexe on the NNE side of the monument located between the larger rectangular enclosure and the townland boundary, both enclosures are likely to form part of the same monument. See attached ASI survey image showing the enclosure and Google Earth orthoimages Compiled by: Edmond O’Donovan Date of upload: 27 October 2020 See attached ASI aerial photographs ASIAP – taken on 04/03/2006.
