What is recorded here

Tubbrid Lower holds a genuine ringfort, not a fairy tale, though local names often blur the two. Its twenty-four metre circle still shows a causeway entrance at the southeast, double banks, and a shallow fosse cut into the ridge. People may have lived, hidden, or marked territory there before written memory, but the earth preserves the shape of their choices.

On the edge of a slight ridge running NE-SW, with a road running NE-SW immediately to the E, in rolling grassland. There is good local visibility. A circular area (int. diam. 24m) enclosed by low earthen bank (overall Wth 3m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 2.2m), external fosse (Wth 2.5m; D O.3m) and outer bank (Wth 2m; ext. H 0.3m), which is best preserved in the S and E quadrants. There is an entrance at the SE with gaps in both banks and a causeway across the fosse. There are traces of drystone internal revetment on the bank in the S sector. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 11 June 2019
