Boleycarrigeen Ringfort and Ogham Stone
Situated among the hills of Wicklow lies Boleycarrigeen Ringfort, or ‘Crossoona Rath’, as it is also known. Located on a slope within forestry, the ringfort houses the remains of two drystone structures, which were likely once hut sites.
An Ogham Stone is situated within the confines of this Ringfort, and contains the inscription ‘VOTI’. This inscribed stone was discovered by the antiquarian Liam Price.
Today, the site is under a Preservation Order, which means there is a legal obligation to preserve this monument due to its historical importance.
