What is recorded here

On level tillage from which a gentle slope falls immediately to the NW. A field system (KD017-025002-) lies immediately to the S and W. Described in 1972 as a roughly circular ringfort (diam. c. 65m) defined by a rise or embankment, most noticeable along the N side (SMR file). The surrounding field boundaries, as shown on the latest ed. (1910) of the OS 6-inch map, have been removed and ploughing has completely denuded the monument. While its location can still be seen, indicated by a broad rise, its precise limits are difficult to make out. (CUCAP AHL094 (1963), AVR007 (1968)) See attached image of Google Earth photograph taken 28/06/2018 which shows cropmark of the enclosure based on information supplied by Anthony Murphy Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
