Surveyed in 2013 and described by McGuinness (2014, 53) as following: 'The survey-team was unable to gain access to this monument this season, although a partial view of the site from over a high roadside field fence suggested that it might have been removed. Monument was described during ASI fieldwork: This trig. point is situated on the remains of a barrow. The site consistes of a low central, roughly circular mound, surrounded by a shallow fosse, and traces of a possible outer bank. The central mound is c. 18 m diameter N-S. The fosse is c. 3m wide. The outer bank, which is more of a raised outer lip of the fosse, is clearest on NE-E. Roughly ¾ of the site survives. It is cut by a field fence which runs N-S. This fence cuts off the W section of the site. Slight traces of the enclosure can be made out in the next field to W. The site is situated on top of a hill, in good pasture land. It commands a very fine view especially to N [SMR file]'. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien based on details provided by David McGuinness. Date of upload: 23 February 2015
