Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Situated on a naturally-occurring rise in a level pasture bordered by low ridges at N and S. Raised circular area (diam. 22m E–W) enclosed by a partially quarried-out bank (Wth 3-3.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.5-1.7m). At the outer foot of the bank is a low bank (Wth 1.4m; H 0.3m) of uncertain antiquity. This follows the curve of the rath at SSW-NW but at NNW continues beyond the rath to intersect with another bank (Wth. 2.8m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.7m) which curves around the rath at NW-SW at a distance of 9-10m. The intervening space between the rath and the outermost bank is subdivided by three radial field banks at NE, E and S. In the N half of the rath interior is an anomalous rectangular feature (SL012-086002-). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
