  Description

  Situated on a level area on a low ridge overlooking the estuary of the River Moy. Not marked on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. On the 1913 map it is depicted as a hachured curve extending in an arc from NE-WSW, and cut at N by a ENE-WSW field boundary. It appears to represent the remains of a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m). It has been levelled and there are no remains now visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F.

At the external foot of the bank at SW-NW is a fosse (Wth 3m; ext. D 0.9m) with a low counterscarp bank (Wth 3m; ext. H 0.3m).

In the interior there is a roughly square depression (max. dim. 4m; D 0.4m) against the inner face of the bank at SW. At S a limestone quarry, now disused, encroaches to within 1m of the rath.
