What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort on a quarried glacial hillock in County Kildare, Ireland. Its eastern bank still rises through overgrown soil, while quarrying took the rest of the circle. The surviving earth may have marked a home, a boundary or a place of story, but the removed parts no longer answer questions.

On a now extensively quarried away glacial hillock, in tillage. Shown on the latest ed. (1910) of the OS 6-inch map as raised circular area (est. max diam. c. 65m). In 1972, a bank and fosse were noted on the E side, but the S, W and N portions of the monument were found to have been destroyed by quarrying (SMR file). A heavily overgrown earthen bank (int. H 0.8m; Wth 3.6m; ext H 1.6m) survives NE-E-SE. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 31 October 2013
