Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Situated at a break in a NE-facing slope. Circular area (diam. 41m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 7.3m; max. H 2m) and a poorly defined external fosse (Wth 4m). About one-third of site has been removed at the W beside the road. No indication of an entrance or internal features. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 December 2008

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
