What is recorded here

On a slight S-facing slope, in pasture, with good views in all directions, abutting the townland boundary with Ballylusky to N. Ringfort (LI021-103----) lies 45m to S. Depicted on the 1897 ed. OS 25-inch map as a suboval-shaped earthwork (approx. dims. 35m N-S; 29m E-W) abutting a trackway from NE-E-SE-S. Monument surveyed by the ASI in 2000 and described as no surface remains visible. Partially levelled monument is defined by a field boundary from S-W-N-NE which is visible on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimages taken 28/06/2018. This curving field boundary probably incorporates the original enclosing element of the ringfort. See attached Google Earth orthoimages.
