What is recorded here

Situated on the summit of a high ridge in undulating grassland, with commanding views in all directions. The grass covered wall footings of a rectangular house site (approx. dims. 4m N-S x 5m E-W) with an entrance gap (Wth 2m) at E are visible in the centre of a bivallate ringfort (WM012-161----). There is a rectangular structure possibly a room adjoining this at N (approx. dims. 4m NW-SE x 3m E-W), and another adjoining it at S (approx. dims. 4m NW-SE x 2m NE-SW). A second possible hut site (WM012-161002-) is visible along the inside of the bank in NNE quadrant. Compiled by: Frank Coyne and Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 8 March 2018
