Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Rathshanmore East

Situated on an E-facing slope. An approximately circular area (dims. 29.5m N-S; 31.4m E-W), defined by a stone-faced bank or wall (ext. H at E 1.4m; int H 0.4m; ext. H at W 0.25m; int H 0.9m). The gap at the SE (Wth 1.2m) is probably not the original entrance. Described by Reynolds (1973, 40) as a small rath. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 December 2008
