NG20SW 18 2209 0485, 2212 0485 and 2211 0483

Two structures and a subrectangular enclosure lie below a low rocky outcrop to the SE of Sliabh Meadhonach. The enclosure (NG 2209 0485) is defined by a single row of boulders enclosing an area measuring 6m from NNW to SSE by 3.2m. The first structure (NG 2212 0485) lies along the contour about 20m to the E and is constructed of two parallel rows of small boulders set on edge; it is narrow and subrectangular measuring 5m from ENE to WSW by 0.8m internally. The second structure (NG 2211 0483) appears to lie on top of peat 17m to the SE of the enclosure. Subrectangular on plan, it measures 3m from N to S by 2.5m within a low faced bank 0.8m in thickness.
(Canna 587-9).
