  Description

  On a slight rise in well-drained pasture. Described in 1986 as a very overgrown but fairly well-preserved, small, raised, circular area (int. diam. 25m) defined by a scarp (H 1.5-2m) and an outer fosse (Wth 2m) which had been recut as a field drain, and widened W-N into a livestock watering hole. The interior was heavily poached by livestock taking shelter on the monument and an enclosing bank, first noted in 1955, was no longer visible (SMR file). Visible as being densely overgrown on a 2005 aerial photo (OSi Orthophoto). Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
