Situated on a natural terrace on the W side of a high steep hill with extensive views to N, SSW and W. Ringfort (WM004-006----) 175m to SSE. Levelled ringfort consisting of the barely discernible outline of an oval-shaped area (approx. diam. 46m N-S; 39m E-W) originally defined by an earthen bank (H 1m) now reduced to a scarp (H 0.2-1m) visible from S-W-N-NE. Traces of cultivation ridges are visible running NNW-SSE across the interior. No other features visible. The outline of this levelled monument is visible on Digital Globe aerial photographs taken November 2011. (Adams 1955, 10) Compiled by: Frank Coyne & Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 12 December 2016
