What is recorded here

Located close to the western tip of Sherkin Island, to the south of enclosure (CO153-037----) and c. 20m from the rocky shoreline. A rectangular enclosure (c. 10m E-W x 5m N-S), open on the eastern side. It has been constructed by incorporating two low rock outcrops to north and south, in an area of exposed rock and rough grazing. There are views over the sound towards Cape Clear. The surviving walls are low and partially protrude from the peat cover, with evidence for later rebuilding in some sections. The northwest corner is marked by a single stone, set upright, measuring c.0.8m in height.
