What is recorded here

Although not indicated on the 1st. ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map, a large, square enclosure (est. ext. dims. L c. 105m; Wth c. 105m) is shown on the 1939 OS 6-inch map revision defined by a broad bank which widens internally at the centre of each side. By 1972, the site had been levelled and bulldozing operations were noted in the area (SMR file). In well-drained, improved pasture. A shallow (D0.4-0.6m), rectangular hollow survives, and is know locally as 'the decoy'. (CUCAP BGH 70, 71). Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 13 October 2011
