Ringfort consists of a slightly raised irregular-shaped area (int. diam. 62m N-S; 65m E-W) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (top Wth 1.2m; base Wth 2.2m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.2m) reduced to a scarp (H 0.5-1m) from NE through E to S, fosse (top Wth 4.5-6m; base Wth 1.5-3m; ext. D 1.7m) and outer bank (top Wth 1.4m; base Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.5m). The inner bank, fosse and outer bank are only visible on the upslope from SW through W to N and NE, elswhere the inner bank has been reduced to a scarp and fosse and outer bank is not visible. At NNW there is a smaller circular enclosure (TS053-029001-) adjoining the larger enclosure and accessed via a causewayed entrance (Wth 6m) from the larger enclosure at NNW. No evidence of a separate external entrance into larger enclosure. The interior slopes from W to E following natural slope on top of which the monument is located.

• TS053-051001 Church
  Description

  In grassland on a slight N-facing slope of rising ground with good views in all directions. The terriers of the Down Survey parish maps (1655-6) mention 'Ballinure whereon stands a Ruined Church'. An ivy-covered rectangular church (ext. dims. 8m N-S; 19.5m E-W; wall T 0.8m) is built with roughly coursed limestone rubble in the centre of a hexagonal-shaped graveyard (TS053-051002-). The N wall of the church no longer survives to any height except the W end which is incorporated into a barrel-vaulted two-storey priests residence (int. dims. 5.6m N-S; 3.6m E-W; wall T 0.8m) at the W end of church. Both the E and W gables stand to full height, while the S wall survives to approx. 2m high. There are no windows visible in the S wall, while a broken out E window is not visible due to the dense cover of ivy, though according to Hassett (1990, 33) it was a two-light window. The W gable and S wall are also covered in ivy, making examination impossible. Evidence of a base-batter is visible on the E gable. A barrel-vaulted chamber at the W end of the church is accessed via an elliptical-headed doorway in the centre of its E wall, but there is no access from inside this chamber to the upper floor. There are 18th and 19th-century memorials inside the barrel-vaulted chamber, and three corbels on the W wall and two on the E wall. These corbels (Wth 0.3m; H 0.2m) are not directly opposite each other and may have acted as shelving supports on the side walls of the priest's chamber. The doorway into the chamber was constructed with chamfered punch-dressed limestone jambs with drafted margins of 16th/17th-century appearance. The concentration of memorials of 18th and 19th-century date is to the S and W of the church. The double belfry on the W gable was not visible due to dense cover of vegetation. According to the OS Letters (1840s), this belfry had been surmounted by a stone cross which was subsequently removed (O'Flanagan 1930, vol.2, 180). Davis White (1892, 45) mentions that the gable and ground adjoining had been used as a ball court. It is not clear if the barrel-vaulted priest's residence has been inserted into, or is contemporary with, the church. An interesting stone ridge-piece of the original church roof survives, with the attachment for the roof finial, in the graveyard to the E, similar to the roof finial piece at Derrynaflan church.

• TS053-051002 Graveyard
  Description

  In grassland on slight a N-facing slope of rising ground with good views in all directions. Irregular-shaped graveyard (int. dims. 37m N-S; 47m E-W) enclosed by a rubble limestone wall (wall T 0.4m; ext. H 1.2m) with medieval church (TS053-051001-) in the centre of the graveyard. Concentration of memorials of 18th and 19th-century date to S and W of church. Interesting stone ridge piece of original roof of church survives with attachment for roof finial of church in graveyard to E of church, similar to roof finial piece at Derrynaflan church.

• TS053-084 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On top of low hillock in upland area under grass with good panoramic views from W through N to E. Impressive raised circular area (int. diam. 26m N-S; 27m E-W) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (top Wth 2.4m; base Wth 4m; int. H 0.7-1m; ext. H 2.5m), fosse (base Wth 3-4m; top Wth 6m; ext. D 0.6m) and outer bank (top Wth 1.6m; base Wth 2m; ext. H 0.3m) visible from S though E to N elsewhere it has been levelled. Causewayed entrance at N (Wth 2.3m). Field boundary indicated on latest ed. OS 6-inch map which intersects ringfort at N through E has been removed. The outer bank may be just an 18th/19th-century field boundary enclosing the ringfort as indicated on first ed. OS 6-inch map. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
