What is recorded here
Within an oval-shaped enclosure (DG064-018001-) believed to be an early ecclesiastical site. The site is bounded by a wall and stream on the eastern half and elsewhere by a grassed-over drystone wall. There are a number of low internal dividing walls and in the SW sector the foundations of two subcircular structures (DG064-018002-; DG064-018003-). The southern structure (DG064-018002-)has a possible entrance to the SSE and the northern structure (DG064-018003-) a possible entrance to the NE. The site is located on undulating pasture with much rock outcrop. Martin's Lough is located closeby to the SSE.
