What is recorded here

Situated on flat reclaimed grassland to the east of a stream which serves as the townland boundary between Clontinteen and Croughal.  Found as part of an assessment of a nearby tree felling licence application. Raised roughly rectangular-shaped area/platform defined by a scarp, ditch and outer bank of earth and stone bank, on average approximately 1m above ground level. Some stones visible in the bank in some areas. Possible fosse visible as a shallow hollow around the NW side of the monument.  Small square-shaped annexe (dims. c. 15m NE-SW x 16m NW-SE) defined by a ditch to NW of possible moated-site.  Extensive series of cultivation ridges throughout the field with linear ditches which may represent the remains of drainage ditches visible on aerial imagery.     Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien based on details provided by Johnny Ryan, archaeologist, Forestry Service, DAFM   Date of Compilation: 10 November 2025
