What is recorded here

Unlocated ringfort within the townland of Kilcaskin described in 1942-3 as following; 'The bank is composed of earth and gravel. Inside it is a waterlogged fosse, which surrounds a circular level space the surface of which is about 2' [0.6m] higher than the fosse bottom, but is considerably lower than the field level outside. The bank is broken in three places, anyone of which may have been the entrance. For discussion of this type of earthwork see Part I of this paper in N. Munst. Ant. Jour. 111, (1942), 90, and Fig. 5, p. 88' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 230). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 2 March 2020

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

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
