What is recorded here
Mullawornia holds a broken D-shaped ringfort where farm buildings consumed the western curve and erased the entrance. The remaining earth rises half to a metre and a half above a narrow ditch, marking a place old enough to be called a fairy fort by people who stopped asking when it was built.
At the base of a S-facing slope in pasture. A raised D-shaped area (max. dim. c. 60m), with a straight SW side, defined by a scarp (H 0.5-1.5m) with an external fosse (Wth 1.8m; D 0.2m), which is identifiable from N-NE-E. The monument has been destroyed from S-W-WNW due to the construction of modern, although disused, farm buildings. The original entrance is not recognisable. An apparently modern bank with an accompanying fosse extends from the inner face of the bank at NE to the centre of the interior.
