Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Legan

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No amount of thinking will invent the missing half.
On a gentle S-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. c. 47m) defined by a scarp (H 0.1-0.8m). A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a shallow external fosse, which has since been infilled. A NW-SE field boundary skirts the rath from SW-W-WNW. The original entrance is not recognisable.
