Outlined

Situated on low lying wet land. River Dungolman 45m to E, which forms the townland boundary with Calliaghstown (Rathconrath By.). A sub-circular shaped area (approx. diam. 45m N-S; 48m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank from S-N-NE, and by field fences on its E and SE sides. Depicted on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map as an enclosure planted with trees, it appears that this possible monument has undergone a fair amount of modification/landscaping in the past. The interior rises to a natural round hump inside the bank in the E quadrant. Not depicted as an antiquity on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. Shown as a tree plantation on the 1838 ed. OS 6-inch map and as a polygonal-shaped field on the revised 1914 ed. OS 6-inch map. Could be the remains of a landscape feature such as a tree-plantation associated with Longfield House located 560m to S. Compiled by: Frank Coyne and Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 14 September 2018
