What is recorded here

Situated on a prominent natural rise in the Deerpark of Killua Castle demesne. Killua Castle 480m to NNE. A folly depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as 'Monument' in Gothic script is located 200m to NE. A raised sub-circular shaped area (approx. diam. 31.5m N-S; 28m E-W) enclosed by two earthen banks with intervening fosse. There is an entrance gap (Wth 3m) at E. The outer bank is visible only from SE-S. The interior rises from the perimeter towards the centre. This ringfort may have been reused as a landscape feature in the post-1700 period. The earthwork may have some association with the Deerpark of Killua Castle. Depicted as a tree plantation and not as an antiquity on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map which casts doubt about the antiquity of this earthwork. See attached plan and section of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI. Compiled by: Frank Coyne and Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 28 April 2017
