What is recorded here

In pasture, located on a NNW−SSE rise/low ridge, with a fall of ground to NE and SE, in an area of sharply undulating terrain. This enclosure, probably a rath, is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular ringfort-like embanked enclosure and on the 1922 edition as a circular hachured enclosure (diam. 30-35m). It has been levelled; a low, grass-covered subcircular rise (diam. 25-30m), without clearly defined limits, is evident at the location. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 15 May 2020
