Place & story
An altered perimeter
Michael Moore’s inventory describes one of Lavagh’s ringforts as a circular enclosure about forty-four metres across. Field banks incorporate much of its earthen perimeter, while traces of an outer ditch survive to the north and east. Gaps remain in the bank, but the survey could not identify the original entrance.
