Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Situated on SE facing slope of steep hillock. Ringfort (WM003-017----; WM003-018----) 180m to N, ringfort (WM003-019----) immediately to NW and ringfort (WM003-021----) 50m to SSE. Depicted as a circular shaped ringfort on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map and as a partial enclosure on the revised 1911 ed. OS 25-inch map. On this latter map only the arc of the enclosing bank bank is depicted from N-E. Present remains consist of a tree-lined curving bank upstanding only from N-E-SE, slight traces of an external fosse at E only with possible evidence of a causewayed entrance gap (Wth 2m) at SE. Originally the monument consisted of a small circular area enclosed by an earth and stone bank with external fosse and causewayed entrance at SE. The W half of the monument was partially levelled between 1837 and 1911. Compiled by: Frank Coyne & Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 21 December 2016
