What is recorded here
Indicated is a vanished Clare ringfort, mapped in 1842 but erased from the grass by 1998. Its bank may still hold shape beneath the pasture, waiting for rain or rhythm to reveal the circle again.
On a gentle SW-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a circular ringfort on the first edition (1842) of the OS 6-inch map, and hachured on the later OS 25-inch plan (1897) and Cassini edition (1920) of the OS 6-inch map. The latter mapping depicts a subcircular enclosure (diams. c. 27m E-W; c. 23m N-S) defined by an enclosing bank from NE-S-WSW, with the bank overlain by a later field boundary from WSW-NW-NE. When inspected in 1998, no surface remains were visible, with the later field boundary also removed. Subsurface archaeological remains may survive intact.
