Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Ballyaneen North

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

On a N-facing slope in undulating pastureland. A subcircular cashel (30m N-S; 28.5m E-W), in fair condition, defined by a partially collapsed drystone wall, the outer face of which is obscured by field-clearance rubble. A gap (Wth 2.1m) at NE may be original, while another at S (Wth 3.5m) appears to be modern. A field wall overlies the cashel wall at SW.
