What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballinclare (gorey By., Balloughter Ed) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballinclare (gorey By., Balloughter Ed), County Wexford, Ireland. It sits on a broad, low east-northeast to west-southwest ridge, where a circular cropmark with an internal diameter of roughly 45 metres and an external diameter of 55 metres is visible in aerial imagery. This form is defined by a prominent inner ditch about 3 to 4 metres wide and a lighter outer ditch, with apparent entrances through the inner ditch at the west-northwest and northwest. The cropmark was first reported by Jean Charles Caillère and later noted by Simon Dowling, with the site compiled by Michael Moore.

Located on a broad, low ENE-WSW ridge. The cropmark of a circular area (int. diam. c. 45m N-S; c. 45m E-W; ext. diam. c. 55m E-W) defined by a prominent inner fosse (Wth c. 3-4m) and a lighter outer fosse is only visible on Google Earth (14/07/2018). The fosses appear to be cut at S by the outer fosse of the ecclesiastical enclosure (WX011-011004-), and only the inner rath fosse is lightly traceable S of this. At the W edge the rath is cut by a N-S drain that is marked on the 1839 and 1902 editions of the OS 6-inch map, but there appear to be entrances through the inner fosse at WNW (Wth c. 4m) and NW (Wth c. 5m). The cropmarks were first reported by Jean Charles Caillère and were also noted by Simon Dowling. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 17 September 2019 Amended: 28 February 2020
