What is recorded here

Fanningstown held a 36.5m ringfort where whitethorn bushes still mark the buried ditch. Fields and forgetting took the rest. The fort is gone except for the shape of its absence, which the bushes keep alive.

Ringfort described in 1943 as following; 'This fort has been almost completely obliterated. It is marked now chiefly by a ring of whitethorn bushes which continue to grow in the fosse. A very few stones of the rampart show through the turf, the overall diameter is 120' [36.5m]' (O'Kelly 1943, 226). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 03 January 2019
