Three of its walls remain, but the fourth side has been obliterated in the building of a modern fence. The N. and E. walls are of large carefully placed limestone blocks, while the south side is marked by an earthen bank. All remain to a height of about 3' [0.9m]. The entrance is not recognisable. It measures overall 66' [20m] by 42' [12.8m]'. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 09 August 2019 See attached ASI aerial photograph ASIAP - 304/25 taken on 13/09/2002.
