Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Killogeenaghan

Situated on a rise, in pasture, with good views in all directions. Depicted on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as a roughly oval-shaped earthwork. Monument described in 1973 as a roughly circular-shaped area (diam. 28m) enclosed by a slight bank. The NE sector of the monument is cut off by a curvilinear-shaped field boundary which traverses the monument and is concentric to the bank from NW-N-E-ESE. The remains of the bank on the SW side of the field boundary have been disturbed by ploughing. The interior has an E-facing slope and the surface is uneven. Monument described in 1979 as no surface remains visible except the curvilinear field boundary traversing the NE side of the monument. Levelled ringfort is visible today as a cropmark of a roughly oval-shaped area on Digital Globe aerial photography, the curvilinear field boundary is still in-situ.
