What is recorded here

Flint and human bone in a sealed chamber under a fairy fort in Ballynahown. The chamber has no entrance and the fort stands above clean rock. Something finished building there, sealed the chamber and left the country.

On slightly raised ground in a low-lying rocky area overgrown with scrub and with commanding views of the ocean to the W. A poorly preserved and overgrown cashel defined by a wall (T 2m; int. H 0.5m) with outer wall-facing visible (H c. 0.45m). The wall is visible from N to SW and is best preserved from SE to SW and is reduced to a stone and earth bank (Wth 3-4m) and a scarp from SW to WNW. The slope to the outer ground level is steepest along the S and SE (ext. H 1.7-2m). A later wall runs through the site in the NW and N extent and outside of the cashel at NNE there is a large natural boulder. The interior is uneven with overgrown stone. A cashel (CL004-068----) is located c. 80m to the SE, another cashel (CL004-063----) is located c. 100m to the SSW and a cashel and Man-made underground passage (CL004-062---- and CL004-062002-) are located c. 100m to the WNW.
