The National Monuments Service's description
This possible enclosure was reported to the Archaeological Survey of Ireland by Tony Miller on 28th January 2013. He describes it as follows: "This site is immediately south of a high rock outcrop, on a small plateau of rough grazing and bog overlooking open ground to the east. It consists of a curved section of wall built of contiguous slabs with a maximum height of c. 0.8m and a length of c. 10m. This wall could either be an unfinished or partially destroyed length of field boundary or enclosure wall. I would favour the latter as it has a similar look to the two previous enclosures described (CO093-099---- & CO093-101----)"
