What is recorded here

Situated on a slight natural rise slight with large bog 100m to S and W, and good views of the surrounding countryside. A circular area (diam. 26m) delimited by a poorly preserved earthen bank, almost completely denuded from W-NNW, at NNE and from SE-S, with an external fosse which is best preserved from S-W. The outer edge of the fosse has been defaced by later banks and drains at N, W & S. Possible entrance gap at NNE (Wth 1.4m). The interior is uneven with slight hollows, and has general slight slope towards the centre. Compiled by: Frank Coyne & Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 13 December 2016
