Enclosure

Why this matters

A local fairy fort (ringfort/rath); wider significance not recorded.

What is recorded here

In level pasture, with views SW to Macgillycuddy's Reeks. Indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map at the junction of four fields. On the 1893-4 OS 6-inch map the SE and SW arcs have been straightened and incorporated into the field boundary system. The field boundaries have been removed and the enclosure is evident as a slight elevation (diam. c. 20m).
