What is recorded here

This ringfort is situated on a SE-facing slope above the Glencullen River and shown on the 1843 OS 6-inch map. It is a circular enclosure (ext. diam. 11m) defined by an enclosing drystone bank (Wth 1.84m; H 1m). The entrance was on the E side. This site was levelled in 1966 during land reclamation.
