Listed by O'Kelly as monument No. 9 and described in 1943 as following; 'This is a circular earthen platform Type A, and is quite similar and very close to No. 8 [LI032-073007-]. It is surrounded by a continuous fosse. It is 3' [0.9m] high and 90' [27m] in overall diameter (See Fig. 12). All these monuments, except Nos. 1 to 5 inclusive, are situated in a low-land marsh.
