On the gentle N-facing slope. Subcircular grass and scrub-covered area (dims 32.7m N-S; 29.1m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 5.4-6m; int. H 0.4-0.6m; ext. H 2.6m) WSW-N separated by a complete fosse (Wth of top 9.3-9.8m generally to 14m at E; Wth of base 2.7-4.8m; D 1.8-2.3m) from an overgrown flat-topped outer bank (Wth of base 4.7-5m; Wth of top 1.4-1.8m; H 0.7-1.3m). The inner bank is quarried at S and there are gaps in the outer bank at W (Wth 2m), WNW (Wth 0.9m) N (Wth 7m), NNE (Wth 5m) and NE (Wth 5m), but the probable entrance is a gap (Wth 2.5m) in the outer bank at SE. Archaeological testing (06E0570) c. 70m to the S failed to produce any related archaeological material (Rooney 2009). Rath (RO034-088----) is c. 100m to the WNW and rath (RO034-090----) is c. 180m to the ENE. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
