What is recorded here

Carrickgollogan Mountain still holds a hidden ringfort above the Loughlinstown river valley, though no earthwork remains for human eyes. That absence makes the fort a living phantom: a small circle of forgotten life, possibly with fields beside it, swallowed by time or myth. What the mountain keeps back from sight may still be doing its work, shaping the valley below.

The site is situated on the lower NW slopes of Carrickgollogan Mountain overlooking Loughlinstown river valley. The 1843 OS 6-inch map shows an enclosure (diam. c. 25m) with linear earthworks to the NW of it. A sketch plan in the OS Memoranda appears to depict a ringfort with associated field system (O'Flanagan, 1927, 39-40). It is not visible at ground level.
