Bawn in Ballydonohoe, County Kerry

What is recorded here

Immediately N of the ringfort (KE005-070----) is a sub-rectangular enclosure, possibly a bawn (KE005-069----). It is cut in half by a fieldbank running E-W. All that remains of this enclosure is a raised area measuring 17m x 14m and between .5m-1.4m above the height of the surrounding land. An opening of c 4m appears to the S, and just inside this opening is a small depression 3.4m. x 3.6m. This bawn could possibly be connected to the ringfort. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’.
