• CO102-056 Enclosure
  Description

  On the top of a partially overgrown mound, in a level field to the E of Ballycrovane Harbour. The overgrown perimeter of the mound (32m E-W; 28m N-S; H 2.5m) displays traces of stone facing, especially along its N arc. It slopes up gradually to a flat roughly circular top (diam. c. 11m) which is almost totally obscured by briars and ferns. Here traces of a circular area (diam. c. 9m) are defined by a wall (Wth 0.9m; H 0.4-1m) of mainly large stones. Dense overgrowth prevents closer examination. The site is known locally as the 'lios'.
