Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Grange (balrothery East By., Balscaddan Ed) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

That is the name, place, kind and the one visible fact supplied. Clear evidence may still exist elsewhere.

Located in low-lying pasture. This platform ringfort comprises a circular raised area (diam.40m; H 2m) with slight traces of a bank around the perimeter (Wth 8m, H c. 0.6m) and an external fosse at the base (Wth 10m; D 0.5m). There is an entrance ramp in SE (Wth 3m). The site is cut by a drain along the W section (Healy 1975, 16). The fosse is no longer visible due to potato planting two years running plus significant insertion of drainage. The ringfort provides dry ground for the cattle and as a consequent has suffered severe poaching. The recent wet years resulted in the surrounding field being subject to extensive flooding and the ringfort being the only high land.
