Embanked enclosure

At the summit of a broad NNW-ESE ridge. Circular grass-covered and domed mound (diam. 21.8m NW-SE; 21.5m NE-SW; H 1.55-2.5m) defined by a fosse (Wth of base 1-2.2m; D 0.55-0.7m), with an outer bank (at NW: Wth 11.8m; ext. H 0.8m) WSW-N-ENE on the downslope side (ext. diam. c. 40m NW-SE). There is a small drystone-built structure on the summit of the mound. Barrow (RO045-039----) is c. 45m to the SSE.

Embanked enclosure, likely dating to the Late Bronze Age or Early Iron Age. Its significance lies in its rare preservation of a complex defensive or ritual landscape feature, typical of early Celtic settlement patterns in Ireland.
