What is recorded here
Bohernabreena, County Dublin: a ringfort, 30m by 20m, level inside, now absent from the ground but still drawn on the 1937 map. The grass slopes west, rough and unsteady, the kind of place where a fence line or a forgotten field edge could have become a fort in the telling. If people lived there, they lived briefly, or the hill took the proof back.
Situated in steeply sloping grassland that falls away to the W. Shown as a hachured oval enclosure in rough pasture on the 1937 OS 6-inch map. Described by Healy (1975, 1-19) as a ringfort with a level interior (dims. L 30m; Wth 20m). There are no visible remains at ground level.
