  Description

  On a low rise in pasture with a steep fall in ground level to the W. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. 47m) enclosed by a substantial bank of earth and stone with an external fosse. The original entrance may have been at NE. Though levelled, its outline is marked by a poorly defined, low scarp (H 0.3-0.5m) in places. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 11 January 2012

• LF003-005 Ringfort - rath
