What is recorded here

A ringfort in this townland was re-used in the 1590s and lost by a Capt. Green to the Irish (Cronin 1980, 118). It has not been identified, but any of four monuments is possible (RO004-034----; RO004-035----; RO004-036----; RO004-037----) although none of them shows any signs of it.

A ringfort in Ballyformoyle, likely early medieval in origin, was re-used in the 1590s during local conflicts and mentioned in connection with Captain Green's loss to the Irish. Its specific location remains unidentified among several possible sites in the area.
