In a heavily overgrown area immediately N of farmyard and farm buildings with ringfort (LI006-038----) located 157m to the E. The earthwork is depicted as a non-antiquity on the 1838 OS 6-inch map where the outline of the enclosure is indicated with a solid line in the same fashion as the surrounding field boundaries. On this map the monument is shown as a circular-shaped enclosure the interior of which has been planted with trees which suggests that this may have been a post-1700 tree-ring rather than that of a ringfort. The 1897 edition of the OS 25-inch map indicates a circular-shaped area (approx. int. diam. 50m) defined by a scarp. The poorly preserved, scrub-covered monument is visible today on the Digital Global orthoimage taken 2011-13 with modern farm buildings and silage pit standing in S half of the enclosure. Outline of poorly preserved monument is partially visible on Google Earth orthophoto taken 19/11/2019.

Hachured - IndicatedFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 229 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom This Fairy fort in Grange Upper claims there’s a secret tunnel straight to the local pub. It’s definitely not true, but the causeway looks suspiciously like a shortcut. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Ballyvarra gave up its walls for Lent and now it’s just a grassy oval with no dignity. The stream nearby is judging the whole situation. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.

Explorer Tom Ballyclogh House has an imaginary twin across the sea that is constantly texting it selfies, but they never meet. It’s just standing there looking fancy with its limestone piers, pretending it doesn't miss its sibling. Pretend you're a lost agent on a mission.

Explorer Tom Castle Troy would ask Saint Patrick to bless its foundation stones. It stands on the Shannon bank, having survived since 1197 without breaking a sweat. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt.
