What is recorded here
Thirty-four metres of packed earth still stand on the Ahanduff More ridge, two tree-lined banks framing a dark central fosse. People built that much shape and then lived inside it, likely raising children, arguing about weather or love, before forgetting the names of everyone who ever walked the circle.
On a ridge in deciduous woodland. Circular rath (diam. 34m), in fair condition, defined by two tree-lined banks and an intervening fosse. A field boundary cuts through the monument at NE and SSE, and no visible surface trace survives to E of it.
