Indicated

This site was surveyed and recorded in 1971 when it recorded 'A large broad oval slightly uneven enclosure (diam. 43m N-S; 44m E-W), rising slightly from the perimeter towards the centre, bounded by a steep scarp with remains of an earthen bank and its upper edge and with remains of a wide deep fosse at its foot. The bank has several modern gaps. It is steep in places on the inside and it may have been modified in relatively modern times. There are modern field fences on the upper outer edge of the fosse and against the counterscarp so that the fosse has been partly modified. The entrance is represented on the E by a gap (Wth 5m) and causeway. The interior is under meadow at present. Sited on a small summit just E of the highest part of a hill of average to good pasture. Extensive views in all directions. The bank and scarp are defaced on the SSE and WSW' (ASI 1971, ASI File). Nearby ringfort (WM024-007) located 300m to the SW, holy well (WM024-008001-) and mass rock (WM024-008002-) 350m to the W. Possible 17th century tower or fortification (WM024-008003-) located on hilltop 240m to the W. Site was re-visited and surveyed in 1977. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 11 November 2009
