Indicated

In undulating grassland, immediately NE of the site of Glennamaddy Union Workhouse. Poorly preserved circular rath (D 39m) defined by a bank and external fosse from NW through N to ENE; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. A field bank cuts the monument at SSE and SW. The interior is flat and featureless. On 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1933), the words 'Burial Ground (Disused)' appear adjacent to this monument but this is more likely to have been associated with the workhouse than the ringfort.

A circular rath of the early medieval period; its location near the former Glennamaddy Union Workhouse site may indicate a continuity of settlement in the area.
