What is recorded here

On a gentle SE-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A circular area (diam. c. 34m) enclosed by fragmentary remains of a very low bank of earth and stone (Wth c. 3m; H 0.2m). From W-NW-N the circuit and morphology of the bank have been altered where it has been incorporated into a NE-SW field boundary. There is no trace of a fosse. The monument has been planted with beech and elm trees. Possibly a rath that was adapted and reused as a tree-ring. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 16 January 2012

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.
