What is recorded here
Possible ecclesiastical enclosure with 'Cillín' [LI030-040002-] and cross-inscribed stone [LI030-040003-] in SE quadrant. Enclosure described by O'Kelly (1943, 234-5) as following; 'The enclosure consists of a rectangular space in the form of a platform with a bank around its edge. On the north there is a little triangular annexe the surface of which is lower than that of the main enclosure but remains higher than the field outside. This seems to have been separated from the main enclosure by a bank. The whole monument is surrounded by a water-logged fosse. Access to the enclosure is gained by a causeway across the fosse at the S.W. corner of the main enclosure. The causeway slopes up to the interior level. The overall dimensions of it are 333' [100m] north-south (max.), by 270' [82m]. In the south east corner of the main enclosure is the Killeen [LI030-040002-]. This consists of a mound on top of which is a cross-inscribed standing stone [LI031-040003-]'.
