What is recorded here

Situated on the lower S facing slope of a ridge in grassland. Ringfort (WM012-197---) 35m to NE. Outline of levelled monument visible on Digital Globe aerial photograph taken November 2011. Described in 1981 as a sub-circular shaped area (approx. diam. 25m NW-SE) enclosed by a low earthen bank and wide fosse. The bank is best preserved at W (max. H 1.25m) and is fragmentary in places elsewhere. A possible house site (WM012-198001-) is visible inside the bank in the E quadrant. A field fence running NW-SE intersects the perimeter of the monument at SW. Compiled by: Frank Coyne and Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 12 March 2018
