What is recorded here

Glennahulla holds two earthen rings ten metres apart, the northern one spanning twenty-eight metres across gently undulating pasture. Its bank rises one and a half metres externally, encloses a shallow outer ditch, and survives quarrying damage on the south-east edge. The southern and south-western sections have vanished into overgrowth, hiding the interior from casual view. This is not a fairy tale but a human fort, its boundary half-forgotten by grass and time.

In gently undulating pasture. Most northerly of two ringforts (CO019-03801-), c. 10m apart, in overgrown patch of ground surrounded by field boundaries. Circular area (diam. c. 28m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.65m) W->E, with shallow external fosse; bank to SE disturbed by quarrying; bank to S and SW not visible due to overgrowth. Interior heavily overgrown.

In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
