What is recorded here

In an undulating landscape. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims 48.3m WNW-ESE; 42.3m NNE-SSW) defined by a scrub-covered but poached earthen bank (at ESE: Wth 6.6m; int. H 0.65m; ext. H 1.45m), which is incorporated into a field bank surmounted by a field wall S-W-NNE, and slight traces of an outer fosse (Wth of top 5.2m; Wth of base 1.9m; D 0.25m) NNE-ESE. The entrance at SSE may be modern, and the perimeter W-N is the townland boundary with Carigeens. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
