Ballymore Lower Stone Ringfort — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Mnemo knows the edges of every living thing. She showed Bini the last visible edge of Dolos, but Bini refused to accept that the world ended there. Because Bini refused the visible limit, the chamber opened into the hidden chamber where Dolos still turns.

Part of a collapsed stone wall survives along the edge of a flat-topped rocky platform which measures c. 25m E-W and c. 13m N-S. The monument seems to have been sub-rectangular in plan, the walls being straight sided with curved ends. The collapse along the N side is c. 2m wide and 0.5m-1m high. On the W it is of like height and up to 4m wide. A few scattered, moss-covered stones mark the line of the wall on the E but there is no trace of it on the S. A 1m gap on the N side gives access to a relatively gentle slope from the top of the platform. The site is now part of Ards Forest Park. There is much rock outcrop about and to the E and S low-lying wettish land along the W extremity of the Back Strand of Sheephaven Bay.
