Situated on NE facing slope of small hillock with excellent views to W, N & E. Ringfort (WM001-009----) 160m to NW and large ringfort (WM001-011---) 260m to N. Roughly circular area (diam. 40.5m NE-SW; 36m SE-NW) enclosed by a wide well preserved earth and stone bank with faint traces of an external fosse at W only. Perimeter of monument is intersected at SW by a post-1700 field boundary running NW-SE. No clear entrance feature visible, two breaks in the bank at NW but it not possible to know if one of these represents the original entrance. The surface of the interior is uneven and dips appreciably towards the perimeter on the NW and SE. The external face of the enclosing bank is faced with stone of post-1700 date from SW-W-N where it now forms part of a field boundary. There is a slight depression of unknown significance, but possibly modern disturbance near the centre. The interior has traces of post-1700 cultivation ridges running SW-NE. The bank supports hazel and other scrub. See attached profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI. Compiled by: Frank Coyne and Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 15 November 2016
