What is recorded here

Ringfort described in 1942-3 as following; 'This is an earthen platform on the edge of which there is a bank. The latter seems to have been faced on the inside with stone, but little of this facing now remains. The whole is surrounded by a fosse. The entrance was on the side where a sloping causeway leads across the fosse to a break in the bank. The greatest height of the latter over the fosse bottom is 10' [3m] and the overall diameter is 150' [45m]. The fort, which is called Rath na Gréine on the O.S map, is situated on a sharply rising knoll on the bank of the Camoge River' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 222). The outline of the monument is visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 28 February 2020
