Enclosure

Why this matters

A local fairy fort (ringfort/rath); wider significance not recorded.

What is recorded here

Situated on the SE-facing slope of a hill in pasture/meadow. Indicated as a large, roughly circular enclosure on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map. On the latest ed. the SE quadrant appears to have been somewhat truncated to form a straight edge. Evidence of a slight curving bank is still visible in the NE and SE quadrants enclosing a large circular area (TN027-039001) which slopes gently to the SE. A second, smaller possible enclosure (approx. diam. 37m) is indicated on an aerial photograph taken in 1968 (CUCAP, AVN 56), c. 40m to the SE, however, this site is not visible at ground level.
