What is recorded here
In grassland, this is the most southerly of three ringforts (LI006-039-/040---) forming a line running NW-SE for a distance of c. 200m. Ringforts (LI006-040-/039----) lie 100m and 195m to NNW respectively. The field boundary marking the townland boundary with Ballyvarry intersects the monument at E. Ringfort depicted as a circular shaped area (approx. int. diam. 31m; ext. dims. 50m NW-SE x 46m NE-SW) on the 1840 OS 6-inch map. Shown as a partially levelled monument on the 1897 OS 25-inch map. On this map the upstanding enclosing element is depicted only from S through W to WNW, elsewhere it has been levelled. The monument is visible on Digital global imagery taken 2011-13 in a similar manner to the 25-inch map. On this orthoimage the enclosing element element with traces of an outer ditch are visible from S through W to NW, a gap at SSE gives access to a lane running along the E field boundary. A post-1700 field boundary runs NW from the NWW side of the monument. Outline of monument visible on Google Earth orthophoto taken 19/11/2019.
