What is recorded here

In rough, low-lying pasture; the Tang River, which marks the border between counties Longford and Westmeath, is adjacent to the SE. A report in 1976 (SMR file) indicates that this raised circular area (diam. c. 34m) was defined by two banks with an intervening fosse. It is defined by a scarp (H 1.8m), at the base of which is a fosse (Wth 2.6m; D 0.4-1.3m). The outer bank is no longer identifiable and the original entrance is not recognisable.
