Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Calverstown

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

On top of a low hillock with good views in all directions. Poorly preserved ringfort consisting of a roughly circular area (diam. 38m N-S; 37m E-W) defined by faint traces of a low earthen bank that has been mainly levelled, a circular growth of nettles indicates the existence of a filled in fosse. A post-1700 field boundary running E-W cuts across the N edge of the ringfort. No entrance feature visible. Compiled by: Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 31 July 2013
