Described in Grogan and Kilfeather (1997, 81, no. 497) as 'Situated on a gentle NE-facing slope. Circular area (diam. c. 15m) defined by a fosse visible on aerial photograph (CUCAP, BGE 83); solid circular cropmark (diam. c. 7m) visible off-centre.' Subsequent archaeological excavation (Licence No. 04E0744) revealed a 5th-6th century penannular enclosure (WI013-007001-) (diam. 26m), which was partially cut by a larger 13th-14th century enclosure (WI013-007002-) (diam. c. 42m) with a SE facing entrance.
