Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Bellair OR Ballyard

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Marianne and the hidden chamber: Ballyard's quiet field conceals a chamber where forgotten lives wait to be remembered.
On a slight rise in undulating countryside. Barely discernible outline of a circular area (diam 40m) defined by a slight bank with external fosse. Probably the site of a levelled ringfort. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 May 2011
