What is recorded here

Located on a rise in flat to undulating ground with views over Ballysadare Bay and Knocknarea. According to Wood-Martin a 'tenant, in order to repair a fallen fence, made some excavations on the northern periphery of the inner vallum, inside, outside, and under which he discovered a quantity of human bones, quite close to the surface, all apparently uncalcined ;with them were teeth of animals, together with shells of various crustacea, fragments of oystershells predominating,'(1887-8, 258). There is no indication of a burial or midden(Wood-Martin 1887-8, 258). Compiled by : Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 13 August
