Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cooleeshil OR Richfort

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Much of the fort has gone, leaving only a shallow disc of packed earth thirty metres across on a wet rise. What remains is a flat-topped shadow in the pasture, perhaps the last visible edge of a rath that once stood complete. The missing bank may have been taken for fuel, field boundary or simply forgotten through generations of ploughing and grazing.
On a rise in low-lying pasture. This much-denuded, flat-topped, slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 30m; H 0.2m) is possibly the remains of a rath. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 30 November 2011
