What is recorded here

Situated on flat pasture with castle site (WM027-007001-) 55m to N, church (WM027-009001-) and graveyard (WM027-009002-) 210m to SE. On the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map the monument is hachured as a roughly oval-shaped enclosure intersected at N by the Mullingar-Killucan road running E-W. Present remains consist of a raised steep sided sub-circular platform (H c. 3.5m; diam. 25.5m E-W; 22.3m N-S) defined by a poorly preserved bank only visible at NW, elsehwere it has been reduced to a scarp with no evidence of an external fosse or clear entrance feature. A gap in platform at SE may be an original entrance feature but more likely the result of natural erosion. The raised platform may have been a natural hillock that was scarped to form the present raised mound of earth which has the appearance of a low motte or a raised ringfort.
