Depicted as a large bivallate circular enclosure and annotated as ‘Fort’ on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map. Depicted as a tree-lined bivallate enclosure on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map where it looks like a designed landscape feature associated with Rosmead House. The enclosure is not depicted on subsequent editions. No surface remains visible of levelled monument which may have been reused as a tree-ring in the 18th century as part of the landscaping of the estate belonging to Rosmead House.. Cropmark of bivallate enclosure visible on Digital Globe aerial photograph taken November 2011. Compiled by: Frank Coyne and Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 28 April 2017

• WM009-036 Settlement deserted - medieval
  Description

  Situated in grassland with Stoneyford River 50m to E. The townland boundaries with Robinstown Great and Robinstown Little adjoin the W & N sides of the earthwork complex respectively. The Stoneyford River forms the E boundary of the site. This is a series of earthworks, rectangular enclosures, banks & fosses (max. dims. 180m N-S; 130m E-W) enclosing an area of 2 hectares. In the NW corner of the complex there is a square shaped earthen platform (dims. 14m), and adjoining this at E there is a rectangular platform (dims. 22m N-S; 30m E-W) enclosed by a shallow fosse and outer bank. To the S of these enclosures are three rectangular fields or small paddocks enclosed by earthen banks, with a raised track way, running NE-SW along the S perimeter. On the W of this earthwork is a shallow U-shaped ditch (Wth 4.3m) with outer banks (H 0.7m) which runs to S, then turns E to meet the River Stoneyford which may be the remains of a possible mill race or water drainage ditch. This encloses an area of cultivation ridges aligned E-W. Some of the features in this field may be related to post-1700 drainage while others may be associated with possible settlement.
