This site, at Towlerton, Kilmurry, was identified during a rewalking of the route for the Limerick Southern Ring Road. It was viewed as a circular mound 8m in diameter and 0.4m high. A trench measuring 5m by 1m was dug by hand in order to test the top of the mound and to see whether there was any enclosing element. It became clear that the site was of natural origin. Nothing of archaeological interest was found.
