What is recorded here

Linear earthwork in Warren is a linear earthwork in Warren, County Roscommon, Ireland. A wall or bank runs southwest from the castle fosse and inside the promontory fort bank, aligning with the northwest hall wall. This structure may be the wall breached by Phelim O Conchobair in 1236 during his failed capture of the castle. It may have represented an inner defence of the peninsula similar to the outer town wall.

The ward of Rindown Castle (RO046-004002-) is surrounded by a fosse which on the NW side incorporates the fosse of the promontory fort (RO046-004001-). Aligned with the NW wall of the hall (RO046-004017-) a wall or bank (Wth of base 3m; Wth of top 1.5m; H 0.2m) runs SW from the fosse of the castle and inside the bank of the promontory fort. This may be the wall breached in 1236 by Phelim O Conchobair when he failed to capture the castle, and may represent an inner defence of the peninsula similar to the outer town wall (RO046-004004-). If so it might have incorporated the early features of the hall. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
