Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Ballyknockcrumpin

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Mnemo is not a goddess, a muse or a divine woman. She is the dead girl from the first chamber, dragged through the war and unable to leave because the man she loved is still missing. She wants to be remembered, not worshipped. The chamber is not a temple. It is a wound that has learned the shape of a room.
The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Oval area (32m ENE-WSW; 25m ESE-WNW) enclosed by stony bank. No visible surface traces of entrance. Densely overgrown with briars and bracken.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
