What is recorded here

Located on a rise in an undulating landscape. It is depicted as a hachured enclosure (ext. dims c. 65m NE-SW; c. 60m NW-SE) only on the 1908 edition of the OS 6-inch map. It is known locally as a ‘fort’ but had been removed c. 1969. It was still discernible as a subcircular area (dims c. 54m NE-SW; c. 44m NW-SE) defined by a soil change. It had been completely quarried away by 1995 (OSAP). Compiled by: Michael Moore Updated by: Paul Walsh Revised date of upload: 14 August 2015
