What is recorded here

Garryduff holds a forty-metre circular earthwork beside a stream, its scarp diminished by livestock and time while dense vegetation hides the centre. A possible megalithic tomb stands within that green chamber, waiting beneath leaves and shadow. The boundary water still flows past the broken ring, carrying rain from the poor land toward Ballyvalode.

In poorly drained land with stream which forms townland boundary with Ballyvalode, immediately to N. Surveyed by the ASI in 2008 and described as a large circular-shaped area (diam. 40m) defined by a poorly preserved scarp (Wth 3m; H 1.5m) subsided from WSW-W-WNW and eroded by livestock from SSE-S-SSW, with possible entrance at WNW. The interior is obscured by impenetrable vegetation. A possible megalithic tomb or structure (LI024-295----) stands in the centre of the earthwork.
