What is recorded here

Situated on a slight rise with good views of the surrounding countryside. A large oval shaped area (approx. diam. 52m NW-SE; 42m NE-SW) defined by a scarp and a shallow external fosse. The interior contains traces of cultivation ridges. From NW-SE the interior of the monument has been impacted by the planting of trees, and the perimeter has been intersected by the driveway to the dwelling house at NE. See attached profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI. Compiled by: Frank Coyne and Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 7 June 2017
