What is recorded here

No visible gap, no obvious door. A 32.8-metre circle of earth and stone sits on a gentle slope in Ballymacwilliam, its low bank and shallow ditch partly worn flat until only a scarp remains on one side. Scrub has taken back the place, hiding the entrance and making the fort feel less like a ruin than like a forgotten room. People may have lived there, feared there, or simply passed by; the land kept the shape while memory let go.

On a gentle ESE-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 32.8m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.2m; H 0.55m max.) with a shallow external fosse (Wth 4.1m; D 0.6m). From SE-ESE the bank and fosse have been levelled and the defining element is a scarp (H 0.8m). The original entrance is not recognisable. The rath is overgrown with scrub. Compiled by: Patrick F.
