What is recorded here

Earthwork described in 1942-3 as following; 'This consists of an oval platform of earth surrounded by a fosse. Parts of the sides of the platform are faced with stone. The entrance is not recognisable. It measures 160' [49m] east-west by 90' [27m]. The maximum height of the platform over the fosse-bottom is 8' [2.4m]. The fosse is gone on the north side. The stone facing remains only at a few points. Fences have been built against the platform at a number of points' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 244). Tree-covered monument clearly visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 9 March 2020
