What is recorded here

Situated on a N-S ridge with very good views to the SE. Overlooked by The Hill of Mael 1km to N and Rock of Curry 1.3km to NW. Circular area (diam. 30m N-S; 28m E-W) defined by a poorly preserved earthen bank best preserved from S-W-N, elsewhere reduced to a scarp, wide fosse and external bank. A gap in the bank at E may represent the original entrance. Running along the inner face of the inner bank there is a narrow flat ledge or berm (Wth 3-5m). The interior rises with the natural slope forming a circular shaped platform in the centre of the ringfort. The slight outline of a rectangular house (WM003-011001-) stands on top of this platform. No surface remains visible of souterrain (WM003-011002-) inside ringfort. Compiled by: Frank Coyne & Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 9 December 2016
