What is recorded here

Green MOUND in Ballynacoy is a Rath and multivallate motte from the E.CHRIST. and MEDIEVAL periods. Its overlapping ditches and raised earth suggest a place built to be seen, defended and remembered. A person may have climbed its slope at dawn, listened for movement in the valley and carried that alertness into every choice made beneath it.
