What is recorded here

On a low-lying level landscape. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 53m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at E: Wth 3.6m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.1m) N-SSE and by a low scarp (at W: H 0.5m) SSW-NNW. There is no visible fosse or entrance, and it is bisected by a N-S railway line. A hearth (RO042-171----) (diam. c. 0.6m) was found in archaeological testing (02E0616) c. 100m to the NW (Morahan 2004a). Archaeological testing (12E0236) by Martin Byrne immediately to the W failed to produce any related archaeological material. See Excavations.ie (2012: 510).
