Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyhoreen

Situated on low lying wet grassland. Ringfort (WM011-094----) and mill race 100m to SW. Depicted on the 1837 OS Fair Plan as a circular enclosure and annotated as a ‘fort’. Depicted as circular shaped enclosure on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map but not on the revised 1911 ed. OS 25-inch map. Ringfort was levelled between these two dates. All that remains are vague suggestions of a circular scarp (approx. diam 37m NE-SW; H 1.4m). The perimeter is intersected by a drain running NNE-SSW and bank at NE.
