Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Rosnamulteeny

Situated on a gentle SE-facing slope of rising ground in an upland area with a nearby ringfort (TN034-040) to the S. A circular area (diam. 26m) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.85m) and an outer fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.5m) with an entrance gap (Wth 3.2m) at SE. The outer bank with internal stone-facing may be a nineteenth-century boundary associated with a nearby farmhouse.
