What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Higginstown stands on level, waterlogged ground at the base of an E-facing slope. A raised circular area, about 30m across, is enclosed by a partially denuded bank of earth and stone, an intervening fosse, and an outer bank visible at SE and S. A break in the bank at ENE probably marks the original entrance. The adjoining enclosure at SE may be an annexe or later feature.

On level, waterlogged ground at the base of an E-facing slope. A raised circular area (diam. 30m) enclosed by a partially denuded bank of earth and stone (Wth 4-4.6m; H 0.45-0.75m) with an intervening fosse (Wth 4-5m; D 0.1-0.3m), which are identifiable from N-NNE-NE, from SE-S-SW and from W-WNW-NW, and an outer bank (Wth c. 4m; H 0.6m) visible at SE and S. A break (Wth 3.1m) in the bank at ENE probably marks the original entrance. Adjoining the rath at SE is an enclosure (LF011-026002-); the latter may be an annexe or later feature.
