What is recorded here

Situated on a rise, in pasture, with good views to S. Annotated 'Fort' on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map and depicted as a small oval-shaped enclosure. Shown on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as a roughly circular-shaped enclosure (approx. dims. 34m N-S; 37m E-W). Levelled monument described in 1973 as no surface remains visible, the earthwork appears to have been levelled during recent land clearance work. Levelled ringfort is not visible today on Digital Globe aerial photography. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien. Date of upload: 28 November 2019
