• GA042-231 Hillfort
  Description

  On a S-facing spur of a hill. This large oval hillfort (195m N-S; 150m E-W), which is obscured by trees, is defined by an overgrown and moss-covered wall (Wth c. 11m; ext. H 1.5m; int. H 1.5m max.) of dump construction consisting of limestone boulders and stones. Sections of the enclosing wall have been removed at E, where there is a modern gateway, and at SSW (L 30m). The original entrance is not evident but it may have been in either of the sections that have been removed. The interior slopes from N to S and is largely under grass but the NW sector is stony and tree covered. The attached images are uploaded courtesy of Paul Gosling. GA042-231----_01.jpg View looking along the line of the enclosing wall in the NE sector. The modern boundary wall is just visible on the left. (Photograph: P. Gosling) GA042-231----_02.jpg View looking SE through the modern gateway in the E sector of the hillfort. The line of the wall of the hillfort crosses from left to right – note the faint rise in the ground surface at the gate, possibly indicating that it is a modern breach. (Photograph: P. Gosling) Compiled by: Olive Alcock based on a report provided by Paul Gosling and Alan McCrossan, Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, Galway. Date of upload: 16 September 2014
