What is recorded here

In undulating pasture, located 200m S of the townland boundary with Baurnalicka. Finniterstown House lies 280m to the SW. The site is depicted as a circular fort (ext. diam. c. 35m) on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map. A trigonometrical station is shown on its N bank suggesting that the site is located on a high point in the field. The map shows three small farm buildings abutting the S and SW edge of the enclosure. The monument and the outbuildings are not depicted on the 1897 ed. OS 25-inch map which indicates that the monument was levelled between these dates. The field is visible on Google Earth orthoimages taken 28/06/2018 and 14/02/2020.
