What is recorded here
On slopes of a natural ridge running N-S along W edge of enclosure. There are subtle undulations in field. A ringfort (TS076-048----) 'Rathmore' is located c. 300m to S on crest of hill. This enclosure (diam. c. 90m N-S; c. 25m E-W) is either attached to the NE side of a large sub-rectangular enclosure (TS076-069----) or its W side was destroyed by the construction of the sub-rectangular enclosure. It was identified as a cropmark on an aerial photograph (ASIAP (31) 15;(32) 3-7). The enclosure has two smaller conjoined enclosures (TS076-070002-; TS076-070003-) to the SE. Field levelled c. 10 years ago and according to landowner the soil in this area is very black, quite different from the surrounding soil, concentrated where the irregular enclosure was located.
