Enclosure in Glengoole North

In improved re-seeded pasture, on a level area, just above a WNW-facing slope. A circular area (dims. c. 21m N-S; c. 22m E-W) defined by the levelled remains of a bank (Wth 16.75m; int. H 0.13m; ext. H 0.46m) best preserved from W-N-E yet traceable WSW-W, a fosse (overall Wth c. 7m; D 0.1m) best preserved in the SW quadrant and traces of an outer bank (Wth 13m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.15m) visible from SW-N-NE and from SE-S-SW. A field boundary (long-axis NW-SE), now removed, may have truncated the outer elements of the monument across the NE sector. The interior is dish-shaped. A coin from the reign of King Henry II (1154-89) was found in this ringfort (NMI files). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 5 June 2012
