Place & story
An enclosure on the ridge
The monument inventory records a small ringfort on the western face of a ridge in Larkinstown. A 1984 description measured its roughly circular interior at about twenty-three metres across, with a scarp and shallow outer ditch but no clear bank. The site appeared on a Cambridge aerial photograph taken in 1966. Frank Coyne and Caimin O’Brien’s later inventory account states that it seemed to have been levelled and could not be seen in aerial imagery from November 2011. [2]
