Description
Situated atop low natural hillock 130m E of Castletown Cottage. Annotated 'Fort' on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map. Present remains consist of a natural oval-shaped hillock (approx. dims. 26m E-W; 20m N-S) the base of which is revetted by a low modern dry-stone wall.

- WM001-016 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on a slight rise of ground overlooking wet marshy land to the N and fairly well drained pasture land to the S. Large ringfort with impressive defensive features including a high bank and wide deep fosse. Present remains consist of a roughly circular area (diam. 44m N-S; 41.5m E-W) enclosed by a large earth & stone bank, deep wide fosse and external bank which now forms a field boundary. From ESE-SE-SSE the outer bank has been narrowed in relatively modern times. It has a wide modern gap on the S and another in the WSW and another on the NE. A gap (Top Wth 5.5m; base Wth 1.8m) in the inner on the SE may perhaps represent the entrance but there is no evidence or gap in the outer bank there. The inner bank is much higher outside than it is inside. Many stones are visible in it but there is no visible evidence of masonry. These are several disturbance gaps in the inner bank. The interior slopes from N-S, with evidence of post-1700 cultivation ridges running E-W across the site. See attached profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI.
