Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carrickaneha

Situated on a gentle WSW-facing slope of a hill, in pasture, with good views to SE, SW and N. Ringfort (WM023-061----) lies c. 155m to NE. Monument described in 1971 and 1976 as a circular-shaped area (diam. 29m) enclosed by a bank visible from SSE-S-W and has been reduced to a scarp W-NW, where it is highest. The bank has been modified from NE-E-SE to form a relatively modern field bank. There is no visible evidence of an external fosse. The interior is even and featureless. The monument is truncated by a field boundary running NE-SW across the NW quadrant. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien. Date of upload: 29 July 2019
