Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Killinroan

Situated on top of a roughly circular-shaped natural knoll, in pasture. Depicted on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as a subcircular-shaped earthwork. Levelled monument described in 1983 as a roughly circular-shaped area (diam. 30m) defined by a band of differential growth around the edge of a natural hillock, which presumably represents a backfilled fosse. According to local information, this monument was a ringfort with a bank approximately 2-3ft in height and was levelled out c. 1980. Levelled monument is not visible today on Digital Globe aerial photography. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien. Date of upload: 08 November 2019
