Embanked enclosure in Ballinphuill (boyle By.)

On a slight ridge in a low-lying landscape surrounded by hills. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 52.5m N-S; 49.5m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 8-10m; int. H 1-1.2m; ext. H 0.9-1.1m). There are entrances at NE (Wth 14m) and SW (Wth 18.5m), which allowed an old stream, visible as a band of rushes (Wth 6m), to flow through the interior. A N-S field bank and drain overlie the E part of the site, distorting the bank to its E. (Stout 1991, 283; Condit 1993, 16) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
