What is recorded here

Situated in pasture with ringfort (WM017-042----) approx. 88m to E. This site has been levelled and is visible on aerial photography as a circular-shaped area (approx. dims. 30m) defined by the cropmark of a backfilled fosse and truncated by a linear field boundary (long-axis NE-SW) across the NW-sector (Digital Globe). Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular-shaped area truncated across the NW-sector, as per aerial photograph. Annotated as a 'fort' on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map. Monument described in 1975 as a levelled site with no visible trace of an antiquity on the surface. Compiled by: Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 06 December 2018

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
