The National Monuments Service's description
First identified in an unpublished archaeological LiDAR report (Davis, 2015) commissioned by Roscommon County Council as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment for the N5 Ballaghaderreen - Scramoge road development. It is located on a gentle NW-facing slope. A rectangular grass-covered area (dims c. 70m ENE-WSW; c. 60m NNW-SSE) is defined by an earth and stone bank at S (L 65m; Wth 2m; H 0.25-0.3m), a fragment of a levelled bank (L 39m; Wth 4.8m; H 0.2-0.45m) at W and traces of a bank at the S end of the E side. There is no evidence of a field bank at N. The field banks are mis-aligned with the present field banks, which they pre-date, but it is probably post-medieval in date.
