Slightly raised circular area (diam. 30m) enclosed by a broad bank of earth (Wth 5.55m; int. H 0.4m). At the external foot of the bank is a fosse (Wth 5.05m; D 0.2m).

• SL015-131 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture reclaimed from boggy ground, located on a low elevation, overlooked by gently rising ground to W. To N there is gradual fall of ground into a broad boggy valley bordered on N side by Crockhauns hill and to W by Keelogyboy hill. There are tracts of forestry in adjacent properties to SE, S and SW. Roughly oval or sub-rectangular platform (c. 30m N-S; c. 42m E-W) defined by a partly levelled, broadly sloping scarp (c. 1m at N and S, c. 1.5m at W), which retains a low internal lip (Wth c. 1.5m) on the S side. Discrete remnants of an original bank may also survive beneath the roots of a lone hawthorn bush growing on top of the scarp at N. The scarp is lowest at E, and the original entrance may have been on this side. Immediately outside the scarp at NE there is a hint of an external depression, perhaps indicating the presence of a fosse, but it can not be traced elsewhere. The interior is level and grassy. The top and slopes of the scarp are marked by a dense growth of rushes. According to local tradition, the site is known locally as a 'fort'.
