What is recorded here

The site is situated on the lower NW slopes of Carrickgollogan Mountain overlooking Loughlinstown river valley. The 1843 OS 6-inch map shows an enclosure (diam. c. 25m) with linear earthworks to the NW of it. A sketch plan in the OS Memoranda appears to depict a ringfort with associated field system (O'Flanagan, 1927, 39-40). It is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout and Padraig Clancy. Revised upload on: 15 April 2018.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
