What is recorded here

Half a kilometre west of Tulla, a low earthen bank still marks the oval boundary of Moymore, though centuries of pasture and field clearance have worn much of it flat. The surviving ridge rises no higher than a knee in places, yet it holds its shape across thirty metres of gentle slope, large stones and thorn trees scattered along its length like forgotten furniture. People may have lived inside this small enclosure before the boundary disappeared into ordinary farmland, but the land no longer explains itself. What remains is a thin line of earth on a north-facing hill, waiting to be remembered.

On a gentle N-facing slope, in gently undulating pasture, with reasonable views of the surrounding landscape. Listed as 'Enclosure' in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). A roughly oval area (27m NNE-SSW; 30m WNW-ESE) defined by an earthen and stone bank (int. H 0.65m; ext. H 0.4m; Wth at top 3m; overall Wth 6m) which is best preserved WNW-ESE. The bank is reduced in height and width ESE-SSE (int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.35m; Wth at top 1m; overall Wth 2.9m) and is low in profile and very degraded SSE-WNW(int. H 0.05m; ext. H 0.25m; Wth at top 0.5m; overall Wth 2m). There are numerous large stones and smaller field clearance stones heaped on the bank intermittently. Thorn trees grow on the bank and around the perimeter of the interior. The interior is generally level with a slight tilt downslope to NE, having intermittent vegetation and loose field clearance stones within, as well as rock outcrop which is exposed in places. All adjoining field boundaries shown on the 1921 edition of the OS 6-inch map have been removed. The following images have been uploaded: CL035-046----_01.jpg General view of ringfort from SE.
