What is recorded here

Enclosure described by O'Kelly (1944, 17-8) as following: 'A circular platform with a bank at its edge. From the bank the interior surface slopes to the middle from all sides, giving a hollow bowl shape. The entrance is 10' [3m] wide and is on the N. side. A causeway leads across the fosse. The height of the bank over the fosse bottom is 8' [2.4m] and overall diameter 180' [55m]. Immediately outside the entrance, and a little to the E. of it, is a stone lined well. Locally this is believed to be ancient. It still supplies water and though in perfect condition, is no longer in use. The diameter at the top is 3' [0.9m]. The fort and well are situated on the N.W. slope of Kilteely Hill'. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 09 August 2019
