What is recorded here
In pastureland. Marked on the OS 6-inch maps as a subcircular enclosure (c. 35m NE-SW; c. 32m NW-SE). No visible surface trace survives. The cartographic evidence and name suggest that it was a ringfort, possibly a cashel. Another possible cashel was located c. 310m to the NNE.
