• CO027-106001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, atop hillock, towards S end of small triangular field. Depicted as hachured penannular raised area (diam. c. 35m), open to NE, on 1934 OS 6-inch map, with lime kiln indicated immediately outside site to SE. Levelled; no visible surface trace. Locally known as site of 'lios'. According to Windele (1897, 379), while 'looking for the caves of Ballyhindon fort (crypts they were), figured in the Dublin Penny Journal' he was shown 'an erased fort' with its circle marked 'by a collection of fieldstones', about two fields S of Ballyhindon castle (CO027-107---). 'The diameter is small, and no cave appears, nor did the farmer, whose ground it is on, ever remember hearing of it.' (ibid.).
