What is recorded here

Situated on a slight rise in gently undulating grassland. Ringfort (WM015-015----) 190m to NE. Depicted on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map as a circular-shaped enclosure with some trees on the perimeter, annotated on map as ‘fort’. The enclosing bank of the ringfort has been levelled and reduced to a low scar from NE-E-S-SSW. Now visible as a semi-circular-shaped area (approx. diam. 24m NW-SE) enclosed by an earthen bank, which also serves as a field fence from SSW-W-N-NE, and by a low scarp elsewhere. See attached profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI. Compiled by: Frank Coyne and Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 7 September 2018
