In level pasture with poor views in all directions, 185m E of townland boundary with Knocknagranshy and 117m S of townland boundary with Kilcurly. Depicted on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map as a D-shaped area with straight side at W defined by a scarp with building standing on scarp at SW. Earthwork possibly served as an enclosure for the building. Shown on the 1897 ed. OS 25-inch map as a semi-circular shaped area (approx. 27.5m N-S) defined by a scarp from NW to S and intersected by field boundary from SW to NW, the building is no longer visible in SW quadrant. Surveyed by the ASI in 2000 and described as consisting of a semi-circular shaped area (19m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.5m) only visible from E to W, the scarp has been incorporated into post-1700 field boundary from W to NW where it is densely overgrown. Site is truncated by a farm track at N and modern farmyard building adjacent to site at N. Monument is visible as an area overgrown with trees on the Google Earth orthoimage taken in 2020. See attached sketch plan surveyed and drawn by ASI and Google Earth orthoimage Compiled by: Fiona Rooney Date of upload: 6 August 2020
