What is recorded here

A bivallate circular-shaped hilltop enclosure is depicted standing on top of Ballyvolane [Ballyvoneen] Hill on Taylor's Map of Kildare, 1783. This enclosure is not depicted on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. The partial outline of a possible enclosure are visible in this area on Google Earth aerial imagery. An OS trig. station is marked at this location on the revised ed. OS 6-inch map. See attached images of enclosure taken from Taylor's Map of Kildare, 1783 and Google Earth. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien based on details kindly provided by Edward O'Riordan.
