What is recorded here

'Located approximately 185m north of KE029-154----, above, this site is within 10m of the northern shoreline of Annagh Island on a low rise 2m above the shore. Again, it forms a focus for the second stand of bushes on the exposed island and is used as shelter by cattle. This site takes the form of a low stone bank enclosing an area 8.5m in diameter. The bank is on average 1.6m wide, 0.47m high internally and 0.5m high internally. The enclosed area is in effect a featureless round-bottomed depression but there is no doubt that the bank surrounds this and that it is man made.'
