What is recorded here

On a low rise just W of the Curragh Military Camp, with excellent views over the surrounding area. A large circular area (diam. c. 56m) is enclosed by a very substantial earthen bank (int. H c. 3m; Wth c. 15m; ext. H c. 6m), and a broad outer fosse (Wth c. 6m; D c. 2m), with an entrance at E. The enclosing bank is disturbed by the insertion of several military pill-boxes.
