Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballynahown (glenquin By.)

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No church tower, no hall beam, no master plan. Only a round ditch and a bank, drawing the eye back to itself. The landowner refused entry, preserving the fortress against knowing.
Landowner refused the Survey permission to inspect this monument which is depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) on 1841 OS 6-inch map. The 1924 OS 6-inch maps shown enclosing bank overlain by field boundary, with external fosse SE->SW.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
