What is recorded here

Potential monument identified from aerial photographs (GSI S 554/3). Present remains consist of a D-shaped area (diam. 33m E-W) defined by a scarp from W through N to E with modern drain and field fence forming boundary at S. There is a slight rise in the centre of the platform which may have been a house site. Possibly a raised platform for a house of unknown antiquity or a small raised platform associated with land reclamation.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record OF043-027
