What is recorded here

Relic Fort is a fairy fort on a natural ridge in County Offaly, Ireland, with two nearby ringforts to the east and southeast. Its sub-circular platform measures twenty by nineteen metres and rises one and a half metres above the ground, enclosed by a low earthen bank with stone revetment visible at the north. A possible entrance gap at the south remains hidden beneath overgrowth, leaving the fort’s true layout half-remembered rather than fully known.

Situated on a natural ridge in undulating countryside with good views in all directions with two nearby ringforts (OF009-008009; OF009-009----) to the E and SE respectively. Sub-circular shaped platform (diam 20m N-S by 19m E-W; H 1.5m) enclosed by a low earthen bank with stone revetment visible at N with no evidence of an enclosing fosse or external bank. Possible entrance gap at S, overgrowth makes it difficult to be certain. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 May 2011
