What is recorded here

On the N outskirts of Ballina town, located on top of a N-S ridge bordering the E bank of the River Moy. Indicated on 1837 OS 6-inch map as a circular, rath-like enclosure (diam. 25-30m), with a smaller enclosure (MA030-039----) immediately adjacent at SE. It is not shown on later map editions. There are no visible remains at ground level. Much of the W slope of the ridge has been quarried away, and it is likely that part at least of the W half of the enclosure has been completely destroyed.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

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