Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Situated on low-lying wet pasture-land. Ringfort (WM006-040----) 130m to NE. Originally depicted as a circular enclosure on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map, but shown as a D-shaped area the SW quadrant of which is now truncated by a post-1700 field boundary on the revised 1911 ed. OS 6-inch map. Present remains consist of a D-shaped area (approx. diam. 32m NE-SW; 29m NW-SE) enclosed by a poorly preserved earthen bank mainly reduced to a scarp. A post-1700 field fence running NW-SE and a drain intersects the site at SW. There is no visible trace of the monument to the W of this field boundary. Traces of cultivation ridges are visible running NE-SW across the interior of the monument. Compiled by: Frank Coyne & Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 31 January 2017

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.
