What is recorded here

On a slight NE facing slope in undulating countryside. Roughly circular-shaped area (diam. 31m N-S; 36m E-W) defined by a low earthen bank best preserved from W-N-NE, with slight remains of an external fosse best preserved from NE-E, no entrance feature visible. The enclosing element of the ringfort has been defaced at SW by a post-1700 field boundary running NE-SW which intersects the monument from S-SW. Depicted as an antiquity and annotated as ‘Fort’, on the 1818 Boyd Belvedere Map of Kilbrennan townland (WCL/M/BBE/6). Compiled by: Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 31 July 2013
