OS 6-inch map as a circular-shaped tree-lined enclosure (approx. dims. 62m N-S; 63m E-W). Levelled monument described in 1980 as no surface remains visible.

• WM019-079 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a slight natural rise, in gently undulating pasture with restricted views. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular-shaped partially tree-lined earthwork. Monument described in 1970 as a roughly circular-shaped area (39m ENE-WSW; 33m NNW-SSE) enclosed by a steep earthen bank, a wide shallow fosse and a very fragmentary outer bank. The inner bank has been pushed out into the fosse from E-SE-SSE. It has several small modern gaps but the original entrance is not visible. There is a modern causeway outside one of the gaps at WNW. The outer bank is not concentric with the fosse in a few places and may be a later feature. The interior has a slight SE-facing slope and there are traces of cultivation ridges running NW-SE. A house site (WM019-079001-) and earthworks are located 25m to ENE. Monument visible as a tree-lined earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography. Monument placed on the Register of Historic Monuments on 05/02/1975 (Iris Oifiguíl 11/02/1975). See attached plan and profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI.
