What is recorded here

In pasture, located on a NW–SE ridge, at the break of slope on the NE side. Good views over the surrounding undulating, average grassland, especially to NE towards the banks of the River Moy. A circular enclosure, smaller in diameter then the average ringfort, is shown on the 1837 OS 6-inch map. At the location a low, gently domed rise (diam. c. 8-10m; H 0.5m) can be discerned. A NW–SE field boundary lies immediately to SW; a perpendicular field boundary shown to SE on the 1930 OS 6-inch map has been removed. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 12 April 2018
