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First identified in an unpublished archaeological LiDAR report (Davis, 2015) commissioned by Roscommon County Council as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment for the N5 Ballaghaderreen -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 situated on a fairly level landscape with some undulations. This is a subcircular grass-covered rise (diam. of base 17m NW-SE; 15m NE-SW; H 0.4-0.6m) with two small depressions (diam. c. 2m) on the flat top (diam. 7m E-W). It could be a natural feature.
