What is recorded here

Situated on a slight rise, in gently undulating pasture, ringfort (WM022-008---) 25m to SSW. Monument described in 1971 and 1976 as a roughly subcircular-shaped area (approx. dims. 30m N-S; 28m E-W) enclosed by a low earth and stone bank from N-E-S, which is almost reduced to a scarp elsewhere. A portion of the bank at E has been preserved as part of an old field boundary. The perimeter has been partly quarried away from NW-NE. A field bank cuts across the perimeter of the ringfort at W. The interior has old cultivation ridges running N-S. See attached profile of monument surveyed and drawn by ASI. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien.
