Hillfort in Curraghadobbin — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

On the summit of Curraghadobbin Hill. The hill has been planted with conifers, harvested and replanted. A hillfort with a central cairn (TS079-024005-) was identified on aerial photographs (Air Corps V.312/3077-6 and GSI June 1973 S.501/500). Though damaged by forestry activity the wall of the circular hillfort (diam. c. 90m) is still visible in the NW, N, E, SE and SW quadrants. It is composed of sandstone conglomerate boulders (Wth 3-3.6m; H 0.5-1m). There is a large upright boulder (H.1.5m) on the line to the wall in the SE quadrant. From the aerial photographs an outer enclosure (diam. c. 230m) could be identified, with the townland boundary to the E of the hillfort kinking out to form the E quadrant. This outer enclosure is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
