SMR NO: ARM 021:005
Irish Grid Reference: J01953437
Townland: BALLYGORMAN
CONDITION: some remains
Field reports of the 1960s describe a roughly circular enclosure raised c.1.5m above natural ground level. During agricultural improvements the E side was been removed. A semi-circular bank 4-5m wide, c.1.5m above the interior & c.2m above exterior survives around the W half. The bank becomes lower to S. The remains indicate a diam. of 39m. Earlier reports mention a ditch c.2.5m wide & 0.3m deep, but this has been filled. The interior is not as raised as the 60s report suggests, but it could refer to the E side.
