What is recorded here

Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 30m) only on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a rise in a low-lying position in an undulating landscape. Described as a semicircular wall foundation surviving NE-S (Gannon 1972). It is not visible now at ground level in pasture. Archaeological testing (02E0879) c. 50m to the NW failed to produce any related material (Quinn 2004a). The possible cashel (RO052-023----) is c. 190m to the W and cashel (RO052-010----) is c. 100m to the NW. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
