Place & story
A layered earthwork
The archaeological survey records Carrick’s ringfort southeast of the stream forming the boundary with Grange townland. Its roughly circular interior measures about thirty by thirty-three metres. An earthen bank, a broad shallow ditch and portions of a lower outer bank and further ditch define the enclosure. The survey identifies a possible entrance on the northeast and notes a later field boundary crossing part of the site. These observations describe the surviving earthwork without establishing its inhabitants or a precise date for construction. [2]
