What is recorded here

Moss and ivy strangle the collapsed wall of a small stone ringfort hidden in mixed woodland near Dangan. The circular enclosure measures about twenty-four metres across and keeps a narrow northeast gap flanked by two upright stones, suggesting a deliberate entrance rather than random ruin. Trees now grow inside the border, dropping leaves onto loose rocks and fading the line between human making and forest reclaiming.

On a generally level area, in mixed woodland. A circular area (24m N-S; 25m E-W) defined by a collapsed stone wall (int. H 0.45m; ext. H 0.55m; Wth at top 1.2m; overall Wth 4.8m) which is covered in moss and ivy with trees growing intermittently. Noted by Discovery Programme staff (2006) to have a possible entrance gap (Wth 0.8m) flanked by two small uprights, at NE. The interior is generally level, with an uneven surface due to a scatter of loose stones and two areas of rock outcrop having loose stones in the centre. The interior is becoming overgrown with vegetation including bushes and trees, some of which have fallen. A field boundary (long-axis NNW-SSE) is c. 7m to E of monument.
