Description
In pasture on the W edge of Knock village, located at the summit of a ridge with a gradual fall of ground NE–SE. The ridge commands excellent views, encompassing Croagh Patrick to W, Nephin Mountain to NW, the Ox Mountains to N, and an extensive sweep of lowlying pasture and bog to NE−SE. Oval sunken area (31m NW–SE; 36m NE–SW) defined by a broad earthen bank (Wth 5.8m at SE, 8.7m at NW; int. H 1.4m at SE, 1.7m at NW; ext. H 0.7m at SE, 0.9m at NW). A few stones protrude randomly from the bank but do not appear to constitute a formal kerb. The bank has a broad internal slump which merges seamlessly with the sunken interior giving it a distinctly saucer-like profile. While the ridge top affords panoramic views, when one stands in the sunken interior views are significantly restricted. There are two low or eroded areas in the bank, one at E (Wth 3m), the other (Wth 2m) at ESE. Traces of cultivation ridges on NNE–SSW axis are visible in the base of the interior. A property wall, on a NW–SE axis, crosses the interior slightly N of centre. A concrete OS trigonometrical station is positioned on top of the bank at the W.
