What is recorded here

Situated on the SE face of a high ridge in hilly grass-land surrounded by hills. Ringfort (WM012-026---) 250m to NW. This site was almost completely levelled in the 1960s. An unusually large, slightly raised circular-shaped area (approx. diam. 61m WNW-ESE; 62m NNE-SSW) enclosed by a shallow internal fosse and poorly preserved earthen bank with possible entrance gap at ENE. The interior slopes slightly from NW-SE. A field fence running NE-SW intersects the monument at NW. This site is clearly visible on Digital Globe aerial photograph taken November 2011. See attached profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI. Compiled by: Frank Coyne and Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 13 December 2017
