What is recorded here

Situated on the summit of a ridge in undulating grassland, with good views in all directions. The road which marks the townland boundary with Toberaquill lies 80m to W. A sub-circular shaped area (approx. diam. 40m N-S; 35m E-W) enclosed by a low earthen bank (H 0.3m) and a shallow external fosse (Wth 1.75m) with a possible entrance gap (Wth 3.6m) at NE. The E quadrant and a large part of the interior has been destroyed by quarrying. A field fence running NE-SW intersects the perimeter of the monument at W and a second field fence running ESE-WSW intersects the perimeter at S.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
