Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Boolattin

Situated on a gentle SE-facing slope on the E foothills of the Monavullagh Mountains. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 35m N-S; 33m E-W) defined by an overgrown earth and stone bank (Wth 3.5-4.5m; int. H 0.4-1.4m; ext. H 1-1.4m) with external and internal stone-facing and an outer fosse (Wth of top 5-8m; ext. D 0.2m at S to 0.5-0.8m generally). There are entrances at W (Wth 3.8m) and SE (Wth 2m), but the latter is probably original. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 25th March, 2011. Compiled by: Michael Moore. This monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 209/1955).
