What is recorded here

In pasture. The enclosure is not indicated on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map or subsequent revision, however a curvilinear field boundary, curving from W-N-NE, probably indicates the surviving upstanding bank which has become incorporated in a field boundary.  A roughly circular enclosure (overall diam. c. 46m) visible on LiDAR imagery (Open Topographic Data View, LiDAR Coverage TII Ireland), identified and reported by Muiris Wade. A field boundary, probably incorporating the bank of the enclosure, survives from W-N-NE.  The E-SE-S portion of the bank is defined by a levelled bank or scarp, visible on satellite imagery (Tailte Éireann, 2013 to 2018 MapGenie and 2011-2013 Digital Globe).   Compiled by: Jean Farrelly
