What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Ballinvira: a circular earthwork with a bank and an east entrance, old enough to be called a rath. Cows still walk where people may have lived, and trees grow along the ridge like witnesses. The field boundaries press close on three sides, as if the land remembers the shape even when the bank lowers.

In parkland pasture, on NE-facing slope. Circular area (42.6m N-S; 45.4m) enclosed by earthen bank. Bank (int. H 1m; ext. H 1.1m), best preserved SE->W, lowers along E side. Entrance (Wth 3.8m) at E. Field boundaries abut at ESE and SSW, another which abutted at WNW has been removed. Interior, under pasture, slopes down to E. Mature deciduous trees grow along bank and immediately N of centre in interior. New trees recently planted atop bank NE->E. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
