What is recorded here
No wall, no ditch, no shadow of a fort remains in Ballyluck. The earth has taken back what people built there. Under the rough ground on the valley shoulder, a ring may still hold its shape, waiting for rain or footpressure to give it back.
In rough ground on SW shoulder of steep narrow valley. No visible surface trace.
