Field system in Ballycorus, County Dublin

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

What is recorded here

The field system is situated on the lower NW slopes of Carrickgollogan Mountain overlooking Loughlinstown river valley. The 1843 OS 6-inch map shows linear earthworks associated with a ringfort. A sketch plan in the OS Memoranda appears to depict a ringfort with associated field system (O'Flanagan, 1927, 39-40). The site is not visible at ground level. Revised upload on: 15 April 2018.
