What is recorded here

Associated with the tower house (LF018-060001-). This circular bawn (diam. 39.3m) is defined by the foundations of a stone wall (T 2.1m). Its siting, size and shape suggest that it is almost certainly constructed on the site of a pre-existing ringfort (LF018-060003-) and that its circuit mirrors that of the enclosing element of the ringfort.
