  Description

  In level, low-lying pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 19.4m) enclosed by a levelled bank (Wth c. 3m). There is no trace of a fosse and the original entrance is not recognisable.

From NNE-NE-E the bank has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary. Immediately inside the bank at NW is a low, steep-sided, circular mound of earth and stone (H c. 2.5m; diam. at base c. 12m; diam. of summit c. 9m) of unknown significance. Compiled by: Patrick F.

  On a gentle WSW-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1976 (SMR file) noted that this slightly raised circular area (diam. 41.7m) was enclosed by a bank of earth and stone with an external fosse. The bank has since been levelled but its outline and that of the infilled fosse are visible from ENE-S-NNW. It is divided by a NNW-SSE field boundary. The area to the NE of this is further divided by an ENE-WSW field boundary. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• LF015-092 Enclosure
  Description

  In undulating pasture with good views in all directions. This possible enclosure was discovered in 2013 during the course of a review of LIDAR data where it is visible as a low circular bank-like feature (diam. c. 27m) (pers. comm. Dr Steve Davis, UCD). The monument has been levelled but the outline of a shallow circular depression marks its site. No other features are visible. A ringfort (LF015-047----) and an enclosure (LF015-093----) lie c. 90m to the WNW and SSE respectively. The attached LIDAR image is uploaded courtesy of Dr Steve Davis.
