What is recorded here
Situated on the S-facing slope of a slight E-W spur, and c. 30m S of the cutting for the defunct KIilmessan to Athboy railway spur. The cropmarks of three small enclosures in a WNW-ESE line are visible on Google Earth (14/07/2018). This central feature (diam. c. 6m) is defined by a single fosse feature. There are ring-ditches c. 8m to the WNW and c. 6m to the ESE. They are also faintly visible on OSI images (1995), and were first reported by Jean Charles Caillere.
