What is recorded here

In improved pasture, on a level area of an E-facing slope. A ringfort (TS062-018----) lies c. 60m to NE. It is depicted on the 2nd (1905) ed. OS 6-inch map as an oval area (overall map dims. c. 60m N-S; c. 55m E-W) with a townland boundary running E-W along the S edge. Cahill (1982) described this monument as being in 'poor condition...barely traceable' with a bank and ditch. It is not visible at ground level, though the surface of the field is uneven at this location. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 13 October 2014
