Partially hachured

Situated on a gentle S-facing slope, with good views to N, E and S, overlooked by gently rising ground to W. Bivallate ringfort described in 1971 and 1976 as an oval-shaped area (dims. 39m E-W; 27m N-S) enclosed by an inner bank, an intervening fosse and an outer bank. The inner bank is quite low and almost reduced to a scarp. The intervening fosse is wide and shallow. The outer bank is low and wide and it is overlain by a post-1700 field bank at S and W. There is no obvious entrance feature. The interior has a gentle NW-facing slope and is quite uneven with wide shallow depressions & low rises. The enclosing element of the monument from SSE-S-W-NNW represents the townland boundary with Farrannamoreen. Compiled by: Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 16 July 2019
