Recorded monuments
- DU026-058001 Ringfort - unclassified
Description
This ringfort is located in improved pasture S of Carrickgollogan with views S to the Sugar Loaf Mountain. It is shown on the 1843 OS 6-inch map as a large univallate enclosure yet the 1937 OS ed. shows the northern half of a bivallate enclosure on the site (int. diam. c. 80m; ext. diam. c. 120m). The site was cleared c. 1950 leaving no visible trace at ground level. It does appear in cropmark form on an aerial photograph (CUCAP, BDP 22) as two levelled banks with external fosses from the SSE to the SW. The photograph also shows linear cropmarks to the SE of the levelled enclosure which may be part of an associated field system. Archaeological test excavation of the site was undertaken in 2002 as part of an assessment for the proposed new Dún Laoghaire Golf Course. Medieval pottery was found in the fill of the fosses (Byrne 2004, 181-182). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout and Padraig Clancy. Revised upload on: 21 April 2018.
