What is recorded here

Indicated is a slumped earthen ringfort on Annaghroe Island at the NE end of Lough Conn, reachable by a causeway once marked as a ford. Its broad shallow bank still holds a hint of an inner rim, while older field lines have vanished from the land around it. The fort may have watched boats, herds or passing people, but its sharp edges have softened into the island's quiet life.

Located on the E side of Annaghroe Island in the NE end of Lough Conn. The island lie close to the shore and is accessible via a causeway (MA039-069), marked as ‘Ford’ on the 1930 OS 6-inch map. Subcircular earthen platform (27.6m N–S; 31.9m E–W) defined by a broadly slumped, partly levelled scarp (H 1.5m at SE, 0.7m at N; Wth slope 4-5m), which retains a hint of raised internal rim in part at S and W. Field boundaries shown abutting or adjacent to the rath at W and N on the 1838 and 1930 OS 6-inch maps have all been removed. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 25 March 2020
