What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carrigeen North is a 43-metre circular earthwork with a two-metre-high bank, shallow outer ditch and eastern entrance on a slight pasture rise in County Kildare. A 1955 description also mentioned a causeway at the north-east, while the interior slopes gently upward toward the centre. The shape suggests a defended dwelling, meeting place or boundary marker, but the absence of a named resident leaves the fort holding more suggestion than confession.

Approximately circular area (diam. 43m E-W) surrounded by high, broad bank (H 2m; W2m) with shallow external fosse (max dims. c. 75m E-W x c. 85m N-S). Described in 1955 as having a causeway at the NE (Danaher 1955, no. 325). Entrance at E. Interior rises slightly towards centre. Situated on slight rise in pasture land.
