What is recorded here

In pasture, located on a low E–W ridge. A roughly circular, embanked enclosure (diam. 20-25m), possibly a rath, is shown on the1838 OS 6-inch map. There is no visible trace at ground level. According to local information, it was known as a ‘fort’, and consisted of a roughly circular, low platform without an enclosing wall or bank. Human burials (MA050-011001-) were exposed when a sandpit, now infilled, was dug nearby. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 12 June 2020
A local fairy fort (ringfort/rath); wider significance not recorded.

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.
