What is recorded here

Poorly preserved ringfort situated on slight S facing slope, with ringfort (WM033-004----) located 160m to the SE. Present remains consist of a small circular raised area (diam. 19m NNW-SSE) enclosed by a poorly preserved bank mainly reduced to a scarp with traces of a possible external fosse which is only visible from S to W and may be a later feature. There is no evidence of an entrance feature. The site is covered with scrub and thorn bushes making detailed examination impossible. A pathway running roughly N-S is depicted running across the centre of the site as depicted on the revised editions of the OS 6-inch map. Compiled by: Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 29 March 2013
