  Situated on a NE-facing slope in undulating ground. A raised D-shaped area enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3.3m; int H 0.2m; ext. H 1.7m), a fosse (Wth 5.7m; D 1.2m) and an outer bank (Wth 3m; ext. H 0.95m). Remains of a causewayed entrance (Wth 3.8m) at E. A gap in the inner and outer banks at N was probably to allow access from the old farmstead, now deserted.

• TN015-071 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a gentle S-facing slope in undulating pastureland. A circular area (diam. 28m N-S; 25.5m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3.2m; int. H 0.58m; ext. H 1.38m) quite eroded in places, a fosse (Wth 5.6m; D 0.58m) and a possible outer bank (Wth 2.2m; ext. H 0.8m) which has been incorporated in a field boundary at N. No visible trace of the outer bank or fosse at S. The landowner remarked that 'only one ring remains' which implies that the site was originally bivallate.
