Located on a level landscape. The cropmark of a small ring-ditch (diam. c. 8m) is visible on Bing images (c. 2013). It is also visible on Google Earth (12/07/2013; 24/06/2018), and is located just N of a modern ENE-WSW field bank with drains on either side that is now removed but the drains are visible as cropmark features. The ring-ditch was first noted by Donal Lucy and the enclosure (ME050-032001-) and ring-ditch (ME050-032002-) are c. 250m to the S. A gradiometer survey (17R0075) by Earthsound confirmed the presence of this feature and identified some other anomalies, which were archaeologically tested (17E0399) by D. McIlreavy (excavations.ie 2017:431). This feature was not tested as it will be preserved in situ within the development (McIlreavy 2017).
