Fairy fort / ringfort

What is recorded here

Marked only on the 1943 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as an arc of a bank (C c. 35m NW-SE). It is situated in a low-lying area on the floor of the Bonet river valley with the E-W meandering course of the Skeanada River, a tributary of the Bonet, c. 170m to the S. No feature is visible at ground level and the area is now occupied by a house and garden, which will have removed any traces of an antiquity.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record LE011-087
