Ringfort of Boolattin
The ring fort of Boolattin ( Irish An Bhuaile Aitinn ) is northeast of the village Kilrossanty (Irish Cill Rosanta ) on the Comeragh Mountains near The Vee in County Waterford in Ireland .
The remnants of the ring fort of Boolattin have a diameter of about 35.0 meters and consist of an earth wall with a width of 3.5 to 4.5 meters and a height of 1.4 meters. The inside of the rampart is formed by a dry stone wall . There are two entrances to the enclosure, one in the west which is 3.8 meters and one in the southeast which is about 2.0 meters wide and is believed to be original.
Also known in archeology as Rath or Lios, the round enclosures can be found in thousands of places across Ireland. They are dated to the early Middle Ages around 500–1100 AD. During the excavations of some ring forts, houses of the modest size of only 5.0 m in diameter were found.
