What is recorded here
No visible mound remains today, but a 40m circular enclosure stood in gentle pasture beside the railway line when mapped in 1840. It vanished before later surveys, leaving only a flat field where a ringfort once held its shape. What disappeared may have been livestock, labour, or forgetting; the land keeps its own counsel either way.
In gentle undulating pasture on a slight SE-facing slope, immediately E of railway line, 40m S of the townland boundary with Ballybronoge North. No surface remains visible. Depicted on the 1840 OS 6-inch map as a circular shaped tree planted enclosure (approx. diam. 40m). Not marked on subsequent OS editions, likely that monument was levelled between the map dates. No surface remains visible of levelled monument on Google Earth orthoimage taken 14/02/2020. Possible levelled ringfort.
