What is recorded here

Situated on a prominent rise in grassland. Ringfort (WM012-143----) 150m to WSW. This site has been partially levelled. All that remains is a raised area (approx. diam. 29m NW-SE; 27m NE-SW) defined by a scarp with slight traces of a bank at ESE. Traces of cultivation ridges are visible running NE-SW across the interior, which rises towards the centre. A field fence running NE-SW intersects the monument at NE. See attached profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI. Compiled by: Frank Coyne and Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 6 March 2018
