What is recorded here

Situated in pasture-land on top of a prominent hill with good views of surrounding countryside. Ringfort (WM007-090----) 160m to NW. Low denuded monument which is almost completely levelled. Remains consist of a sub-circular shaped area (approx. diam. 40m N-S; 45m E-W), enclosed by a very poorly preserved earthen bank (H 0.3m) mainly reduced to a scarp and external fosse, visible only from WNW—NE (max. Wth 1.2m; D 0.35m). The interior rises slightly towards the centre, and has traces of cultivation ridges. Compiled by: Frank Coyne and Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 16 April 2017
