What is recorded here

Situated on a low rise, in undulating pasture with good views in all directions. Outside the outer bank of ringfort (WM018-071----) are the remains of two small enclosures. A relatively large subrectangular enclosure (dims. 25m E-W; 21m N-S) defined by a low earthen bank is located at W. A smaller subrectangular enclosure (dims. 13.7m NE-SW; 11.5m NW-SE) defined by a low earthen bank is located at SW. These may be annexes to the ringfort or form part of an old field system. Enclosures not visible on Digital Globe aerial photography. Compiled by: Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 05 February 2019
