What is recorded here

In low-lying level wet pasture with a ring-barrow (TS066-035----) and a ditch-barrow (TS066-157----) located c. 250m to the NNW. The enclosure consists of a roughly circular area (original diam. 20m; now 28m N-S; 34m E-W) defined by a gently sloping earthen scarp (Wth 2.1m; H 0.2m) with a flat-bottomed external fosse (overall Wth 7m; Wth at base 5m; D 0.2m). From ESE to SW the fosse, scarp and a portion of the interior have been removed by the NE-SW orientated Cork-Dublin rail line. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth. A shallow SE-NW orientated relic field drain extends across the interior from the rail line at ESE, intersecting with the edge of the enclosure at NNW.
