Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lackan

Situated on a gentle NNE-Facing slope, in pasture with good views to N, E and NW. Monument described in 1971 as a large roughly circular-shaped area (diam. 44m) enclosed by a bank and external fosse. The bank is best preserved from SE-S-SW and is almost reduced to a scarp in places and is much disturbed by several small gaps. The exterior of the bank has been steepened and modified to form part of a modern field fence. The deep U-shaped external fosse is best preserved from SE-S-SW and is almost completely filled up from NE-E-SE. The original entrance is not visible. The interior has a gentle SSW-facing slope with traces of cultivation ridges running NNE-SSW. Compiled by: Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 15 July 2019
