  Description

  Situated on a slight S-facing slope, in gently undulating pasture, overlooking small stream to the W. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 26m) enclosed by a bank of rubble limestone (Wth 3.8m; int. H 0.7m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The bank is made up of rubble limestone and encloses the site WSW-NE. From NE-WSW the bank is absent and the edge of the site is defined by an earthen scarp (ext. H 0.3m). A NNW-SSE orientated field bank and drain crosses the E side of the site intersecting with the bank at NNE and the scarped edge at SE. An ENE-WSW orientated drain abuts the scarped edge SE-SSW. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior is levelled up to compensate for the underlying natural slope. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011
