Town defences

What is recorded here

From descriptions of assaults on the town, particularly in 1434 and 1489, Ballintober was probably surrounded by earthwork defences, but there is no trace of them now, and the line of them could not even be suggested. (Bradley and Dunne 1988a, 24) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

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.
