What is recorded here

In pasture, located on a gentle SE-facing slope, c. 150m to S of the Cabragh River. Slighlty raised, circular area (diam. 23.5m E–W) defined on the W half by degraded remnants of an earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.65m at W) and on the E half by a low scarp (H 0.5m at W). The interior slopes down slightly to E. Immediately outside the bank at S there is a raised feature (max. dim. c. 4m) obscured by overgrowth, probably a field clearance heap. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 15 April 2013
