What is recorded here

At the NW edge of a pasture field, located on elevated ground, which provides good views over rough hilly pasture to NW, and of gently falling ground to SE, towards Lough Muck which is c. 360m distant. This monument is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. 20-25m); it is not shown on the 1930 edition. The enclosure has been levelled. A low, roughly circular rise (diam. 15-20m) marks the location. It is bordered on the W side by a drystone field wall (Wth 1m; H 0.6m) which describes a distinct curve SW−NW, most likely preserving the original curve of the W half of the enclosure.
