What is recorded here

On a steep NW-facing slope overlooking Clooncose Lough. A raised circular area (diam. 36.2m) enclosed from NE-E-S by a substantial bank of earth and stone (Wth 5.8m; H 1.3m) and a wide, shallow external fosse (Wth 5.5m; D 0.3m), both of which have been incorporated into a field boundary. Elsewhere the delimiting element is a poorly defined scarp (H 0.1-0.55m). The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior slopes appreciably from SE to NW. Compiled by: Patrick F.
