  On level pasture with good views in all directions, ringfort (WM033-023----) and standing stone (WM023-023001-) located 485m to E. Circular area (diam. 35m N-S; 38m E-W) defined by a low earth and stone bank with traces of an external fosse almost completely filled in. No clear entrance feature visible. A large gap in the bank at N appears to be a later feature. A large portion of the bank has been removed at NNW. Compiled by: Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 26 July 2013

• WM033-023 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a slight N facing slope in gently undulating countryside. Ringfort (WM033-022----) located 480m to W. Circular area (diam. 48.5m N-S; 48.3m E-W) defined by a low earth and stone bank mainly reduced to a scarp with traces of a shallow external fosse which has been mostly filled in. A large portion of the enclosing element of the monument has been levelled on E side where a modern field boundary running N-S intersects the enclosure. One of the gaps at SSW (Wth 1.8m) and W (Wth 1.4m) may be the original entrance feature. Possible standing stone (WM033-023001-) located in SW quadrant.

• WM033-023001 Standing stone
  Description

  On a slight N facing slope in gently undulating countryside. Ringfort (WM033-022----) located 480m to W. Possible standing stone located in SW quadrant of ringfort (WM033-023----) consists of a large boulder known locally as the 'Giant's Grave' (SMR File) but which appears to be the result of quarrying or a field clearance boulder. The boulder which does not have the classic appearance of a standing stone sits in a small hollow or depression. According to the local farmer bones were dug up from around the base of the stone which are now housed in the British Museum (SMR File). Compiled by: Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 26 July 2013

• WM033-074 Structure - peatland
  Description

  In 2015 Dr. Gill Plunkett identified a potential new peatland monument the timbers of which were exposed when a section of the bog collapsed revealing the worked timbers. Dr. Plunkett collected some of the worked timbers and submitted one of the pieces for 14C dating which returned a date of cal AD 770-970 (UBA-29881, 1168±37 BP). Recent inspection of the site confirmed the presence of upright roundwoods visible in a crevice on the surface of the heather covered bog. This section of bog has partially collapsed into the lower section of cutaway bog and has a created a crevice running along the surface of the bog revealing the presence of vertical and horizontal timbers located 0.8m below the surface of the bog. These timbers consist of upright roundwoods measuring 5cm in diameter along with horizontal roundwoods all of which appear to belong to some form of peatland structure situated 0.8m below the surface of the bog. This section of bog is in danger of collapsing down into the cutaway section of bog which will result in the exposure of these timbers. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 12 November 2015
