The inner bank is well preserved; the outer bank is visible from NW-NE and from SE-SW, with a slight outer fosse from NE-NW. There is a possible entrance gap (Wth 1.5m) at SE. The interior slopes gently from N-S. See attached plan and profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI. Compiled by: Frank Coyne and Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 13 July 2018
