What is recorded here

On an elevated ridge of rough pasture within a large multiperiod field system (CL005-104001-). A roughly circular enclosure (diam. 65m) defined by a partially grassed-over stone bank (Wth 2.2m; H 0.2-0.7m). A smaller, more recent, enclosure (diam. c. 15) is built in the SE sector and runs up onto the bank at SE. Later parallel strip field walls, orientated WSW-ENE, extend across the enclosure and a modern trackway cuts through the N sector. A large irregularly shaped enclosure (CL005-060002-) lies c. 100m to the W. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Ros Ó Maoldúin Date of upload: 6 July 2022
A roughly circular early-medieval ringfort (rath) with a stone bank and possible inner enclosure, likely dating to between the 5th and 10th centuries. Local folklore may associate such sites with fairy dwellings or ancient druidic activity, though no specific traditions are recorded for this site.
