What is recorded here

On a terrace on a NE-facing slope in pasture. A slightly raised oval area (42.5m E-W; 39m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 1.3-1.6m) with traces of an external fosse (Wth 1.3m; D 0.2m). A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded an outer bank of earth and stone and suggested that the original entrance may have been at NE. This bank is no longer identifiable. A modern-looking entrance is evident at SW. Another ringfort (LF027-024----) lies c. 100m to the E. (CUCAP, AOY062) Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 11 January 2012
