Located on a level landscape. A small ring-ditch (diam. c. 10m) is visible on Bing images (2013) within a D-shaped enclosure (ME050-032001-). it is cut slightly by the cropmark of a modern NE-SW drain and It was first noted by Donal Lucy. The ring-ditch (ME050-031----) is c. 250m to the N. A gradiometer survey (17R0075) by Earthsould confirmed the presence of this feature and identified some other anomalies, all of which were archaeologically tested (17E0399) by D. McIlreavy (excavations.ie 2017, 431). The defining fosse (Wth of top 1.8-2.8m; D 0.65-0.85m) of this enclosure is round bottomed with a loose brown sandy clay fill. It produced no artefacts where sampled, but two sherds of thirteenth century pottery were recovered in the topsoil. The enclosure will be preserved in situ. (McIlreavy 2017)
