What is recorded here

On a gentle S-facing slope. Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 225-6, no. 138) as a circular ‘Stone fort’ (diam. c. 29m) in a very ruinous condition with two elliptically shaped enclosures lying nearby to the N and E. No visible surface trace of any of these features survives due to land reclamation. A field system (GA104-117002-) was also associated.
