What is recorded here
Situated on flat reclaimed grassland to the east of a stream which serves as the townland boundary between Clontinteen and Croughal. Found as part of an assessment of a nearby tree felling licence application. Raised roughly rectangular-shaped area/platform defined by a scarp, ditch and outer bank of earth and stone bank, on average approximately 1m above ground level. Some stones visible in the bank in some areas. Possible fosse visible as a shallow hollow around the NW side of the monument. Small square-shaped annexe (dims. c. 15m NE-SW x 16m NW-SE) defined by a ditch to NW of possible moated-site. Extensive series of cultivation ridges throughout the field with linear ditches which may represent the remains of drainage ditches visible on aerial imagery.
