In pasture immediately N of the townland boundary with Scoul. Possible enclosure (LI039-087----) lies 180m to SE. Indicated as a semi-circular feature but not as an antiquity on 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map. Shown on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map as a semi-circular shaped area (dims. c. 13m N-S; 17m E-W) enclosed by a bank with outer fosse transected at S by townland boundary running E-W. A disused gravel pit is depicted 200m to W. Surveyed by the ASI in 1996 when a faint cropmark was the only visible remains recorded. According to landowner earthwork was levelled 10-15 years ago, c. 1980 (SMR File). No surface remains visible on OSi orthophoto taken between 2005-12 or on Google Earth orthoimage dated 14/09/2019.
