What is recorded here
No visible trace survives of the circular earthen fort beside the cashel in Ballybuck North, though a twenty-five-metre bank once shaped the ground. The land has swallowed the ridge, yet the missing circle still claims attention because it resisted ordinary forgetting.
Some 20m to the SW of a cashel (GA104-014001-). Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 210, no. 134) as a circular ‘Earthen fort’ (diam. 25m) defined by bank. No visible surface trace survives.
