What is recorded here

Marked only on the 25-inch ed. of the OS map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m), and situated on the outer edge of a shelf on the W-facing slope of Carrowkeeny Hill. This is a subrectangular grass and scrub-covered area (dims 43m N-S; 34m E-W) with rounded corners defined by the base of a well-constructed faced stone wall, best preserved at N (Wth 1.6-1.75m) but reduced to a stone spread or obscured by field stones elsewhere. There is an entrance at N. Archaeological testing (03E1655) in the vicinity failed to produce any related material (Fitzpatrick 2006a). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
