Ballaharry Roundhouse

Archaeology

The site of an Iron Age round house.  The enclosure has been ploughed out and only slight traces now remain, although it is seen as a cropmark from the air. It is located in a pasture field which slopes down to the west.  Its topographical position resembles the sites of stone roundhouses rather than those of the earth-built type, which are found in marshy situations. If it were a stone constructed rath, as seems likely, it is probable that the stones have been incorporated in the field walls which have been entirely re-built since the survey of 1867-8. Several small stones are scattered around the site.
