What is recorded here

No visible fort exists at Ballylanigan today, though a circular embankment appeared on the 1924 survey. Dense vegetation has swallowed the structure, hiding the scarped edge, inner lip and external fosse that once defined the boundary. The lost shape may have marked a home, a shrine or a childhood game, but the earth has taken back the answer.

In level pasture. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1924 OS 6-inch map, is now largely covered by dense overgrowth. However, parts of enclosing element were accessed showing site defined by scarped edge (H 1m; Wth 2m) with slight inner lip (int. H 0.15m), and with external fosse (D 0.5m; Wth 3m). Gap across scarp at NE. In line with gap is linear depression extending outwards from outer edge of fosse; however, this feature is masked by dense overgrowth.
