Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballylough

Located on a slight rise in the flood-plain f the NE-SW River Bann with the stream c. 150m to the SE and a small W-E stream c. 20m to the S. A cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) enclosing a small hillock and defined by a single fosse feature is visible on aerial photograph (CUCAP: BGP 80). No feature is visible at ground level in pasture, but the enclosure can be seen faintly on the OSI series of aerial photographs (1995). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 30 April, 2012 Amended: 8 May, 2014
