Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Gilltown (timahoe North Ed)

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Taylor’s map (1783) shows a small circular rath at Gilltown, though its exact position is lost. It may have been a farmyard, a refuge or a boundary marker, but the earth has taken back that much. What remains is a dot on an old line, waiting to be found again.
Shown as a small circular rath on Taylor's Map of Co. Kildare (1783) at a scale of approximately one and three-eights of an inch to the mile, as indicated by his scale-bar. The scale is not sufficient to allow its precise location to be determined. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
