Embanked enclosure in Bricketstown

Fairy fort / ringfort

What is recorded here

Marked as a circular embanked enclosure on the 1839 (ext. diam. c. 50-55m) and 1924 (ext. diam. c. 40-45m) eds of the OS 6 inch map, and situated on a broad but low N-S ridge. It is not visible at ground level in a harvested cereal crop. Archaeological testing (08E0172) c. 60m to the NW produced no related material (Tobin 2011), and further work (09E0561) had a similar outcome (Stafford 2013).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record WX036-023
