What is recorded here

On level ground with good views to the S. Ringfort (WM033-059---) 260m to the NW. Only the N half of a circular ringfort which is bisected by the Tyrrellspass-Rochfortbridge road (R446) is depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map. The N and S enclosing element of the ringfort is depicted on the 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map. Only the S half of the ringfort is visible today and consists of a D-shaped area defined by a poorly preserved earthen bank and external fosse with public road forming straight side of D-shaped area at N. There are no surface remains visible of the enclosing element of the ringfort to the N of the road. No entrance feature visible. Compiled by: Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 25 July 2013
