What is recorded here

Situated on the edge of a high ridge, in pasture, with good views of the surrounding landscape. Ringfort (WM031-030----) lies c. 165m to NNW and ringfort (WM031-032----) lies c. 140m to ENE. Depicted on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as a roughly circular-shaped earthwork. Monument described in 1973 as a roughly circular-shaped area (approx. diam. 26m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone. The bank has been disturbed from SSE-S-SSW. There is no trace of a fosse. The interior rises from the perimeter toward the centre and is strewn with loose stone. Monument is visible today as a roughly circular-shaped tree-planted earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien.

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