What is recorded here
No visible wall remains at the east where a later field cut through the old ring, but the vanished edge still shadows the pasture. The lost fort may have stood as a boundary marker, a refuge, or a household centre before its stones scattered into other walls. A shed now leans against the south side, treating the ancient ring as an ordinary support for modern tools.
On a gentle rise in pastureland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 28m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall overlain by a field wall. No visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives at E where another field wall cuts through the monument. A shed has been built against the cashel at S.
