• WM022-027 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a hilltop, in pasture with wide views in all directions. Bivallate ringfort described in 1978 a roughly oval-shaped area (38m N-S; 27m E-W) enclosed by an inner bank, an intervening fosse and an external bank with entrance feature at NNE. The inner bank of earth and stone is low and is almost reduced to a scarp which is best preserved where it is quite high and steep at SE and NW. There is a wide, shallow intervening fosse. The low outer bank of earth and stone has been disturbed in several places and has been almost levelled at E and SE. The interior has old cultivation ridges running E-W across it and there is a disturbance depression inside the bank at E probably the result of old quarrying.
