What is recorded here

Situated atop high ground with good panoramic views in all directions. Barely visible and much degraded site consisting of a low circular mound (diam. 1.5m; H 0.1m) enclosed by an inner fosse (Wth 3m; ext. D 0.1m) and outer bank (Wth 3m ; ext. H 0.1m). The overall diameter of the site measures 11m N-S. The small size of the mound casts some doubts on its antiquity. May have been formed by the presence of a ring-feeder though not sure, its excellent panoramic views may suggest that this is a burial monument. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien.
