What is recorded here

First identified in an unpublished archaeological LiDAR report (Davis, 2015) commissioned by Roscommon County Council as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment for the N5 Ballaghaderreen - Scramoge road development. It is located in mature meadow grass at the bottom of a slight S-facing slope. Although the LiDAR image (ibid. 189, 74, 2) depicts a circular enclosure (diam. c. 35-40m) defined by a bank feature that is overlain by an NW-SE field bank towards the perimeter at SW with mixed woodland beyond this feature, an antiquity cannot be confirmed by field inspection.
