No designated site (Special Area of Conservation, Special Protection Area, Natural Heritage Area or proposed one) touches the townland of Behybaun.
Recorded monuments
- MA039-021 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, located at S end of a N-S ridge. There is a slight rise in ground level to N, restricting views, but there are good views to E, S and W. Slightly raised, oval or roughly circular area (estimated diam. 25-30m) enclosed NNW–NE by an earthen bank (Wth 4.2m; int. H 0.85m; ext. H 1.50 at N), which is incorporated into a field fence at E. Elsewhere the bank is reduced to a scarp (H 0.6m at S). A few stones protrude from the internal face of the bank. A low section of scarp (Wth c. 2m) at SE may indicate the original entrance. Large boulders set against the external face of the bank at N appear to be the result of field clearance. The rath is engulfed in blackthorn, hawthorn and brambles, which impeded inspection.
