Situated on elevated N-facing slope of rising ground. Ringfort (WM015-007---) 150m to S. A slightly raised circular-shaped area (approx. diam. 38m E-W) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone with a shallow external fosse. The bank has been almost completely levelled at N, where the perimeter is intersected by a NW-SE field fence. The interior slopes gently from SW-NE. In the centre of the monument a mound of field clearance stones is visible, with a low bank extending to SW from the W end of this mound towards the ringfort bank. See attached profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI. Compiled by: Frank Coyne and Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 5 September 2018
