The Ring; Ballanicholas

Archaeology

Ringfort. This well preserved circular earthwork, set in marshy ground, has an overall diameter of 30m and consists of two concentric banks separated by a medial ditch and a central platform. The diameter of the inner bank top is 8m. In the north-east there is a causeway 3m wide across the ditch and corresponding breaks in both banks creating an entranceway.


The site is unexcavated, but superficially appears similar to sites like Ballacagen and Port e Candas.
