What is recorded here

Situated on a slight rise, in pasture. Depicted on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as a roughly oval-shaped earthwork. Monument described in 1973 as a roughly circular-shaped area (diam. 27m) enclosed by an inner bank, an intervening fosse and a possible outer bank. The outer bank may post-date the ringfort and has been disturbed by dumping of field clearance stones. The interior has a SE-facing slope which is cut by old cultivation ridges. Monument is obscured by trees and scrub on Digital Globe aerial photography. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien. Date of upload: 21 November 2019
