  Description

  On the summit of a low hill. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map.

• LF010-107 Barrow - bowl-barrow
  Description

  On a NE-facing slope in pasture. A circular, steep-sided mound of earth and stone (diam. at base c. 19.5m; H c. 3m) tapering to a point. It is encircled by traces of a levelled bank of earth and stone with a wide, deep, steep-sided, flat-bottomed internal fosse (Wth 5.5m; depth 1.4m).

• LF011-029 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a S-facing slope. A raised oval area (c. 44m NW-SE; c. 30m NE-SW) enclosed from WSW-N-ESE by a wide low bank of earth and stone (Wth 5-7m; H 0.3-0.95m) with a partially infilled external fosse (Wth c. 6-7m; D 0.3-0.8m). From ESE-S-WSW the enclosing elements and most of the interior have been quarried away. A modern E-W field boundary crosses this part of the rath. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded that the original entrance was at NNE. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
