What is recorded here
Ardtomin holds a thirty-metre earthen ring atop a hill, its stone-and-earth bank still standing though cattle wore the south arc thin. Dense overgrowth now swallows the interior, hiding whatever hands shaped the circle or lived inside it. The west and northeast banks remain stronger, preserving the shape while the rest fades into pasture.
In rough pasture, atop hill. Circular area (diam. c. 30m) enclosed by earth-and-stone bank (int. H 0.45m; ext. H 0.7m). Bank, best preserved W->NE, is lower along S arc where much denuded by cattle. Bank and interior are covered by dense overgrowth. Field boundary abuts enclosure at E.
