frot MO014-008---- in Lisglassan

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Located at the summit of and at the SW end of a NE-SW drumlin ridge. This is an oval grass and scrub-covered area (dims 37m ENE-WSW; 25m NNW-SSE) defined by an earthen bank (at ESE: Wth of base 4.2m; Wth of top 1.1m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 2.4m) and hedge ENE-SE and SW-WSW, which is reduced to a scarp and hedge elsewhere. Traces of an outer fosse are visible as a berm (Wth c. 3m) NW-NE. There is a gap in the perimeter at NNE but the original entrance is probably that at E (Wth of base 1.3m).
