Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Connellstown

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No visible entrance, two buried rings, one empty field. That is the whole trick. The fort stopped being a home and became a drawing tool, waiting for someone young enough to ask why it exists.
Located on a SW-facing slope. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) defined by a single fosse feature is visible on Google Earth (2018). It is separated by a berm (Wth c. 10-15m) from an outer enclosure (diam. c. 55-60m) defined by a single fosse or drain feature from which at least five field drains extend. No entrance features are visible. It was first reported by Edward O’Regan. It is also visible on Google Earth (28/06/2018). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 20 December 2018
