What is recorded here

Half a kilometre of unremarkable pasture hides a ringfort wide enough to swallow a house whole. Earth and stone still trace its circular chamber, marked only by a faint ridge where grass grows thicker. The fort has watched Garrynderk North through every storm and every forgotten life, waiting patiently for someone to stop measuring its worth in gold.

In reclaimed pasture 75m E of a watercourse and 280m E of a roadway that marks the townland boundary with Ballynagoul. Moated site (LI047-064----) lies 90m to NE. Depicted on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map as a circular-shaped enclosure. It is shown on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map as a roughly circular-shaped area (diam. c. 31m) enclosed by a bank, fosse, scarp, fosse and outer bank. A causewayed gap at E appears to be the original entrance feature while there is a second gap at S in the outer bank. Intersected at NE by field boundary running NW-SE.
