What is recorded here

In flat grassland, atop a low rise of ground at the foothills of the Slieveardagh Hills with good views in all directions. The monument consists of a square-shaped area (approx. int. dims. 40m NW-SE; 38m NE-SW) enclosed by a substantial earth and stone bank (top Wth 1.4m; base Wth 4m; int. H 0.3- 0.7m; ext. H 2m) and wide, flat-bottomed external fosse (base Wth 1.5-2.5m; top Wth 4m; ext. D 1-1.5m). There are cattle gaps in the bank at the N and W. The bank and fosse are well preserved along the NE side. The interior, though well preserved, was very overgrown at time of visit making detailed examination impossible, it is level with the external ground surface but appears slightly sunken due to the impressive enclosing bank.
