What is recorded here

Marked only on the 1927 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a slight E-W ridge at the bottom of the N-facing slope of Rathcroghan. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 31m N-S; 29m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.7-3.8m; int. H 0.4-0.5m; ext. H 0.9m) which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.3m) SE-SW. There is no visible fosse, but there are entrance gaps at N, NNE, E, SE and W. A low mound (dims 6m x 4.5m; H 0.3m), which may be spoil, is SW of the centre.
