Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Mullinroe

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No amount of thinking will solve the boundary of forever.
On a NE-facing slope overlooking Mullinroe Lough. A raised circular area (diam. 17m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.5m; H 0.2-0.65m) from E-S-NNW. Elsewhere the defining element is a scarp (H 1m). There is no trace of a fosse and the original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
