What is recorded here

Situated on a slight rise, in low-lying, wet pasture. Partially levelled monument described in 1977 as an oval-shaped area (dims. 41m E-W; 31m NNE-SSW) enclosed by a low preserved bank and shallow external fosse. The interior rises slightly toward the centre and there are shallow cultivation ridges running E-W. There is no trace of an entrance. Siting and morphology of earthwork suggests that this is not a ringfort. Wet marshy location may suggest the remains of a possible barrow. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien.

A ringfort, likely dating to the Early Medieval period (c. 500–1000 AD), characterized by its enclosed oval shape with a bank and fosse. Its location on a slight rise suggests a strategic defensive or agricultural function in the landscape.

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.
