What is recorded here

On top of a flat-topped hill on the E side of the Dinin river valley, in rolling pasture. There are commanding views in all directions. According to O’Kelly (1969, 44), within Mohil townland there are, ‘two raths and a ringed fort in Mulhall’s field’. Located within this field there is an upstanding ringfort (KK014-015003-) and c. 20m S of this there is a levelled ringfort (KK014-016----). A third enclosure, while levelled, was identified during fieldwork in 1987 as a roughly circular area (diam. c. 20m) of rougher grass c. 25m SW of the upstanding ringfort and c. 25m NW of the levelled ringfort.
