On a gentle rise in level grassland. Named after the O'Drinans whose duty it was to 'distribute justice to the tribes' of Hy Fiachra Aidne (Holt 1912, 226-7). It consists of a circular enclosure (diam. 128m) defined by a double-faced drystone wall. From NW through N to E only the inner wall-facing survives. From E to SE a curving field wall indicates the former line of the enclosing element. The wall is best preserved from SW through W to NW. A gap (Wth 3m) at SSW may be the original entrance. The interior is subdivided by several later field walls, a number of which were removed in 2002 (Casey 2003, 30-33). An anchor is incised on a large stone (see GA095-020003-) on the outer wall-face at W. A church (GA095-020002-) lies within the interior and a cross-base (GA095-020004-) is also associated. (Fahey 1901, 230; Westropp 1919, 173-4; Fox 1978, 56)
