What is recorded here

On a NW-facing slope c. 150m to the S of the Camlin River. Depicted as the E half of a rectangular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A raised circular area (diam. 35.8m) enclosed by a narrow low bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.8m; H 0.4m max.), which has been levelled from ESE-SE-S and from NW-N-NNE. The outline of the latter section is still evident. There is no trace of a fosse. A report in 1975 (SMR file) suggested that the original entrance may have been at S. It is no longer identifiable. The interior, which is heavily waterlogged, slopes appreciably from SE-NW. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
