The National Monuments Service's description
The church of Creeve (RO017-165001-) is within a subcircular enclosure (dims c. 125m N-S; c. 110m E-W) defined by scarp (H 0.3m at NW to 2m at ENE) NW-E-SW with an outer fosse (Wth of base 5-6m; ext. D 0.3m) ENE-SW. There are traces of an outer bank (Wth 3.25-5m; ext. H 0.4-0.9m) at ESE and S-SW, and a causeway (Wth 10m) across the fosse at E. Archaeological testing (05E1095) c. 40m W of the graveyard failed to produce any related material (Sweetman 2008a).
