What is recorded here

Situated on a slight rise, in gently undulating pasture, with extensive views to SE. Monument described as a much disturbed roughly circular-shaped area (dims. 34m E-W) enclosed by a low, earth and stone bank visible from E-S-WSW with dry-stone facing on the exterior from ESE-E. The bank has small gaps and several slight depressions. The monument has been much disturbed by quarrying activity from W-N-NE and the resultant Z-shaped scarp has been faced with drystone masonry. There are possible traces of a shallow external fosse and a low outer bank from SSE-S-SW. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior has a general ENE-facing slope and there is a subrectangular-shaped depression in the NE quadrant. The W and N quadrants and the centre have been dug out to facilitate an old farmyard. A field boundary abuts the monument at ESE. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien. Date of upload: 23 September 2019
A local fairy fort (ringfort/rath); wider significance not recorded.
