What is recorded here

Marianne and Ciaran walked past Ballybetagh in 1966, watching men level the ringfort for new farmland. They did not know the circular stone bank had stood above the Glencullen River since before maps existed. Marianne dropped a copper coin into the broken earth, not for luck but for witness. Ciaran laughed at her nonsense, yet he remembered the exact moment the old boundary disappeared.

This ringfort is situated on a SE-facing slope above the Glencullen River and shown on the 1843 OS 6-inch map. It is a circular enclosure (ext. diam. 11m) defined by an enclosing drystone bank (Wth 1.84m; H 1m). The entrance was on the E side. This site was levelled in 1966 during land reclamation.
