On the NE outskirts of Kilkenny City, immediately E of the outer ring road which was completed in 2007, a river flows southward into the Nore c. 90m to the E, in tillage. Identified on an aerial photograph (GB89.Q.26, 13 July 1989) as a cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) defined by a deep fosse and an external bank, probably representing a plough-levelled barrow; a cropmark of a small pit in the interior indicates a probable burial deposit. An adjacent cropmark of a circular feature (KK019-122----) appears contiguous and interlinked with a common enclosing external bank. Both monuments are located within a series of fosses delineating a rectilinear field system (KK019-123----), however, these features may not be contemporaneous. The ring-ditch is also visible on Google Earth Pro (imagery date 13 August 2015).
