What is recorded here

Situated on S-facing slope of a high ridge, in pasture. Ringfort (WM031-025----) lies c. 155m to SE. Depicted on the 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as an oval-shaped earthwork. Monument described in 1973 as a roughly circular-shaped area (diam. 32m) defined by an earth and stone scarp. The interior has a general S-facing slope and rises unevenly from the perimeter toward the centre where there are the remains of low walls which form no coherent pattern. Monument is visible today as a roughly circular-shaped partially levelled out earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography which is defined by field boundaries from NW-N-E. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien. Date of upload: 12 November 2019
