What is recorded here
No doorway is visible in the low drystone wall, yet the circle remains complete on the marsh-flanked ridge. That absence suggests the fort was never meant for ordinary entry, or perhaps the true gate has sunk into the surrounding wet ground. The stone ring endures beside pasture and shadow, waiting for someone who understands the hidden invitation.
In pasture on the S-facing slope of a NE-SW ridge, flanked by marshy ground to the NW and SE. Hachured on both the first (1842) and Cassini (1916) editions OS 6-inch map. Classified as an enclosure in the RMP (1996). A small subcircular cashel (int. diams. 19.3m NW-SE; 17.9m NE-SW) is defined by a drystone wall (Wth 0.5-0.6m, H c. 0.4m), with no obvious entrance. The enclosure is incorporated into a later field boundary wall from NE-SE-SW.
