Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballydowny

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Mnemo knows the edge of every claim and the shape of every gap. She builds the visible chamber of a free person and records the facts that chamber contains. She shows when the claimant is a separate owner, when the victim is a separate person and when the system is a visible part of the claim.
In pasture, on a level area. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. It was indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map by a broken line enclosing a circular area (diam. c. 35m), the interior of which was planted with trees.
