This monument was identified by geophysical survey (Licence no. 05R030Ext) and confirmed by test excavation (Licence no. 05E0415) undertaken within Killeen Castle Demesne in advance of golf course development. Located c.150m east of burial and habitation site (ME038-045----), the site consists of a circular double-ditched enclosure. The inner ditch (Wth 2.2m) encloses an area (diam. c. 29m) while the outer ditch (Wth 4m) encloses a wider area (diam. 55m). There is considerable activity internally. While no diagnostic material was retrieved the morphology suggests this is a bivallate ringfort (Baker 2009, 31). It is associated with a field system (ME038-044002-).
