A local fairy fort (ringfort/rath); wider significance not recorded.

What is recorded here

In low-lying pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 31m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone with an external fosse. The original entrance was not recognisable. It has since been levelled and all that survives is a low, irregular rise (max. H 0.6m). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
