On a small hillock, on an E-facing slope, in improved pasture and 12m to E of a townland boundary with Pallashill. Depicted as a circular shaped tree-plantation and not as an antiquity on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map. Shown on the revised 1897 ed. OS 25-inch map as a circular-shaped tree-planted enclosure. Monument described by O’Dwyer (1959, 77) as following; ‘This site has suffered some interference and denudation, but it appears to be a platform structure with some evidence of a bank at its edge. The ditch probably was continuous but is now filled up on the western side of the site. The platform is 54’ (16.5m) in diameter and on its NE quadrant has a low mound about 18’ (5.5m) in diameter – probably a hut-site’. Monument surveyed by the ASI in 2008 and described as a low profile circular-shaped area (diam. 14m) defined by a scarp, an intervening fosse and the remains of an outer bank. The scarp (Wth 0.9m; H 0.15m) has a possible entrance (Wth 4.5m) where the scarp is absent from WSW-W. An intervening fosse (Wth 3.1m; D 0.1m) is present from N-NNE-ENE and from SSW-SW. The remains of a possible outer bank (Wth 4.4m; int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.05m) are visible from SSW-SW. The interior is grass covered and uneven. There is a steep drop on the exterior from NE-NNE-ENE and a moderately steep slope from ENE-SE-S. Possible monument is visible as a circular-shaped cropmark (overall diam. 19m) in the NW corner of a roadside field as seen on OSi orthoimage taken 2005-2012, on Digital Globe orthoimage taken 2011-201, and on Google Earth orthoimage taken 18/11/2018. The cartographic evidence would suggest the remains of a tree-ring of post-1700 date. See attached profile drawn by O’ Dwyer in 1959, sketch plan and cross-section surveyed and drawn by the ASI in 2008 and Google Earth orthoimage taken 18/11/2018.

In pasture 220m W of public road that marks the townland boundary with Kilduff. Not depicted on the OS maps. Identified by Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 75; AP 4/3680) as a large circular shaped crop mark. Visible on Google Earth orthoimage dated 18/11/2018 as a circular shaped area (approx. diam. 55m) defined by a levelled scarp with an outer ditch. A relict field boundary or avenue intersecting the monument at SE is visible on OSi orthoimage 2005-12.
