What is recorded here

On a gentle N-facing slope in low-lying pasture. A report in 1975 (SMR file) noted that this raised circular area (diam. c. 23m) was enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone and an external fosse. Due to land-reclamation works, the bank has been levelled and the defining element is a scarp (H 1.2m) that has been modified from NE-E-SE where it is incorporated into the townland boundary. The fosse has been recut. The monument has been quarried away from ESE-S-SW. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
