Nearby cliff-edge fort (TS049-037----) 250m to NW and ringfort (TS049-036----) 300m to N.

H 0.7-1.2m) and poorly preserved outer fosse (base Wth 3m; top Wth 4m; ext. D 0.25m) visible at W only. Bank, covered in thorn and gorse bushes, is preserved from S through W to NW only elsewhere are defined by a scarp (H 3m at E; 7m at N), originally the bank enclosed the whole, unlike a cliff-edge fort.

• TS049-040 Enclosure
  Description

  On an E-facing slope of rising ground in the Slieveardagh hills in grassland with good views from N through E to S with higher ground to W. Nearby enclosure possible (TS049-056----) 180m to S. Depicted on 1st (1840) ed OS 6-inch map as a large circular enclosure (diam. c. 100m N-S; c. 90m E-W) bisected by an E-W field boundary running E-W. A stream runs downhill from W to E in the southern half of the enclosure. The S bank of the enclosure had been incorporated in a field boundary, and is indicated on the 1903 ed. as a such, however, this section of the bank has been levelled and only survives from SE-SW as a low rise of ground (H 0.1m). There are modern farm buildings located in the N half of the enclosure. The field boundary which bisected the monument is still present and the stream, though dried out, is still visible in the S half. Agricultural buildings have been built to the N of the bisecting field boundary. This field boundary is located c. 45m away from the original enclosing element to the S. An old laneway intersects the enclosure at W as depicted on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 27 May 2015
