Identified as the outline of a fort bisected by a field boundary running NNE-SSW and indicated as Site 1B on plan submitted by P.J. O’Hanlon of Teagasc in 2009 (SMR File). The levelled site is visible as the ploughed out remains of a possible bivallate ringfort consisting of a circular-shaped area (approx. diam. 40m) enclosed by two banks with intervening fosse visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 20/10/2010. Faint cropmark of levelled enclosure bisected by farm road visible on Google Earth orthophoto taken 15/04/2020.
