What is recorded here

Mortons and Cusack's troops marched past Baunballinlough during the Confederate Wars, likely disturbing the old circular enclosure and square platforms still visible in the grassland. The Down Survey later recorded a house, bawn and cabins nearby, suggesting the earthworks remained part of a living settlement rather than abandoned ruin.

In rolling grassland at crest of slope down to valley bottom. The Down Survey map shows a settlement in this area including a house with chimney, a bawn and cabins. During field survey in 1987, various poorly defined earthworks were noted, including a circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 10m) defined by a raised bank, two raised square platforms (max. dims. c. 10m square) and a trackway at the S edge of field. A larger, roughly rectangular enclosure (dims. c. 94m NE-SW; c. 69m WNW-ESE) is visible on Digitglobe imagery (viewed 27 September 2017) c. 50m to the N. This enclosure, the NE bank of which appears to be curving, is defined by a bank. A well (KK008-013----) is located c. 57m W of the S end of the W side of the enclosure.
