Further to a field inspection by the ASI in 1986 the following monument was identified as being of archaeological significance. It is located at the NW side of an area designated on the 1st edition OS 6-inch map as a deerpark, and bound by a stone wall, within the demesne associated with Killynan House and castle (WM020-003----). The monument is situated on a natural ridge and comprises a D-shaped enclosure (WM020-144----) with straight N side, raised above the surrounding ground level and bound by a low bank. The enclosing bank is denuded along the S edge of the monument from SW to SE. A hut site defined by a low stony bank adjoins the enclosure midway along the N bank with the enclosure bank forming one edge of the hut site. There is a possible entrance to the hut site at N. This monument was included in the Register of Historic Monuments in 1987 being listed as Enclosure and Hut Site.
