What is recorded here
Graigueawoneen, kellysgrove: a circular enclosure about thirty-five metres across, lost when the ridge was levelled. It stood on undulating grassland with a large ditch, visible enough for the 1946 map but no longer present. A chambered cairn still lies to the southwest, keeping the company of the vanished fort.
On a ridge in undulating grassland. Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1946) as a circular enclosure (D c. 35m). No visible surface trace survives. According to local information, the monument was levelled c. 25 years ago; a large 'ditch' formerly encircled the 'fort'. A CBG (GA087-121----) lies to SW.
