Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

On a gentle E-facing slope. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims 32m NNE-SSW; 28m WNW-ESE) defined by a slight earthen bank (Wth c. 3m; int. H 0.1-0.2m; ext. H 0.5m) separated by a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of top 3.5-4m; Wth of base 2-2.2m) from an outer bank (Wth 3.3-4.1m; int. H 0.7-0.9m; ext. H 0.3-0.8m). There is no identifiable original entrance (max. ext. diam. 44.6m NNE-SSW). Gannon (1972) records a possible structure in the N interior, but there is no clear evidence of this now. Rath (RO029-146001-) is c. 200m to the NW. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
