Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Mullaghardagh

Towards the top of a N-facing slope with limestone outcrop. Subcircular grass and scrub-covered area (int. dims 35m NNE-SSW; 30.8m WNW-ESE) defined by a double-faced wall footing (Wth 1.7m; max. H 0.5m) best preserved SE-W-N, separated by a berm (Wth 4.5-5m) from an outer wall-footing of an outer wall defined by facing-stones (Wth 0.9m). There is no identifiable original entrance. A subrectangular structure (int. dims 8m N-S; 4.6m E-W at N; 10.4m E-W at S) defined by a wall-footing (Wth 1m) abuts the inner face of the inner wall at S, but this may be part of the field system (RO044-083001-). The monument is bisected by a WNW-ESE field wall. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
