What is recorded here

In pasture, on a SE-facing slope. A circular area (18m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.45m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 2.8m). The bank is incorporated into the field boundary system at N. There is an entrance (Wth 4m) at E, with narrow cattle breaches at NE and SSE. The SE portion of the interior is raised (H 1.6m) above the external ground level to compensate for the hillslope. A field boundary radiates from the bank along the SSE arc, externally. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.
