What is recorded here

Three concentric earth-and-stone banks still circle a thirty-metre area in Ballyeawood, though cattle have grazed much of the inner ridge flat and a concrete tank now sits where the outer bank disappeared. The marshy ground, nettles and briars suggest people once shaped this place before forgetting it, while the local name keeps asking whether humans or fairies built the rings.

In rough pasture, on marshy low-lying terrain. Circular area (diam. 30m N-S) enclosed by three concentric earth-and-stone banks. Inner bank (int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.55m), best preserved along NW arc but much denuded by cattle elsewhere. Much-degraded middle bank (int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.2m) can only be traced SSW->E. Outer bank (int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.25m) survives E->S; it is truncated at S end by concrete tank (6m N-S; 10m E-W). Curved field boundary skirts around outside of enclosure W->NE; this possibly incorporates section of outer bank. Level interior covered by nettles and briars. Distance between inner and middle bank is 3m; distance between inner and outer bank is 15m. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
