Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyfintan

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No visible gate, no broken stone, no human mark at all. The field has no owner, no history, no story. It is empty.
On a ridge in undulating pastureland. Circular rath (diam. c. 40m), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is visible all round and a gap at ENE may be original. The fosse survives from SE through W to N. Numerous gaps occur in the outer bank which is evident from SSE through W to NNE.
