Indicated

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Indicated is a circular stone ringfort in County Offaly, Ireland, roughly thirty metres across and enclosed by a one-metre-wide bank. Its broken northern and eastern edges reveal modern disturbance, while the southern field boundary cuts through the ancient shape. The cashel-like structure still stands as a quiet marker of human presence, perhaps shielding people or marking territory before memory faded.
Roughly circular area (Diam. N/S 30m) enclosed by a mainly stone constructed bank (Wth 1m; ext. H. 1m; int. H. 0.6m) which is broken at North and East due to modern disturbance. No evidence of an outer fosse or entrance feature. Field boundary intersects southern side of site. Cashel like appearance to this site. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 May 2011
