What is recorded here

In reclaimed grassland on flat pasture with good views in all directions. Ringfort consists of a circular area (approx. diam. 35m N-S; 30m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (base Wth 1.5m; top Wth 0.5m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.2m) with the suggestion of an outer fosse visible at E only. Monument totally covered in trees and vegetation making detailed examination impossible. Profile of bank at E is very sharp and well defined and has been re-shaped as a townland boundary. No other features visible. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
