What is recorded here

Situated in pasture-land on the top of a prominent but gentle rise, with excellent views of the surrounding undulating countryside. Bishop’s Lough 220m to NE. A sub-circular shaped area (approx. diam. 34m N-S; 32m E-W) enclosed two earthen banks and a wide intervening space or berm (approx. Wth 10m). The overall diameter of the site measures approx. 65m NE-SW. There is a slight fosse outside the inner bank. A gap (Wth 1.8m) at NE in the inner bank represents the entrance. The outer bank is levelled from SSW-N-NE. The remains of a N-S field fence intersects the site at W. Compiled by: Frank Coyne and Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 17 April 2017
