What is recorded here
No visible mound or ditch remains in Ballinlyny, though a thirty-five-metre embanked circle stood on that southern slope when surveyed in 1841. The fort has been levelled into ordinary pasture, leaving behind a name and a absent shape rather than a boundary the body can touch.
In pasture, on gentle S-facing slope. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) on 1841 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. No trace of monument evident in field of tall grass.
