Raneany East Multi-Banked Fairy Fort — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

No visible fort remains at Raneany East. The ground holds a faint circular depression and a broken stone ring on the south shoulder of the hill. Water has filled the ditches and time has smoothed the banks into grass. What was built there has returned most of itself to the mountain.

Internal diam. c. 27m. A circular space surrounded by a much worn bank, a silted-up fosse, another bank and fosse in similar condition and possibly a third outer bank. The whole site is much damaged. A circular stone wall is situated at the mutilated W section of the probable outer bank. It is possibly totally modern. The site is situated lower down the S facing shoulder of the hill on which the site above (DG100-008) is located. Immediately to the S is a stream running through a deep gorge. The site is very wet.
