Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cloonfide

In low-lying, level pasture. A raised oval area (c. 40m NE-SW; c. 34m NW-SE) enclosed by a partially denuded, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.2-2.4m; H 0.3-0.4m). A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded an intervening fosse with a low outer bank, both of which have since been levelled. It also noted that the original entrance was at SE and that there was a low, irregularly shaped, spread of loose stones, of unknown significance, in the centre of the interior.
