What is recorded here

In level pasture. Circular raised area (diam. 23m) defined by an internal low broad earthen bank (overall Wth 6.3m; Wth at top 2.1m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 1m) with an external wide flat-bottomed fosse (overall Wth 4.8m; Wth at base 3m; D 0.3m). The fosse is best preserved W-E being very low and difficult to discern SW-W and E-SE. The fosse is not visible SE-SW where a modern E-W orientated field bank skirts the external base of the bank SSE-SSW. A break (Wth 4m) in the internal bank at SE marks the position of the original entrance. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

A fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyryan West is a circular early-medieval defensive or domestic site, likely dating to between the 5th and 10th centuries AD. Local tradition associates such forts with the faé or supernatural beings, and they were often avoided or revered in Irish folklore.
