What is recorded here
On a low rise with good views in all directions. Discovered in 2013 during the course of a review of LIDAR data where it is visible as a raised area (diam. c. 45m) with an external fosse (pers. comm. Dr Steve Davis, UCD). The raised subcircular area (diam. 44m E-W; 40m N-S) is defined by a low scarp (H 0.2m) with the remains of a waterlogged external fosse (Wth 4m; ext. D 1m), now re-used as a field boundary, from SW-W-N. No other features are visible. Possibly a levelled ringfort. A possible enclosure (LF015-092----) lies 80m to NNW and a ringfort (LF015-047----) 160m to the NW.
