In the undulating pasture of Ballyegny in County Limerick, a second such enclosure sits quietly on a gentle rise, its circular outline still legible in the grass despite centuries of agricultural activity pressing in on all sides. Ringforts, sometimes called raths, are the most common archaeological monument type in Ireland, earthen or stone enclosures that once served as farmsteads for early medieval families, typically dating from roughly the fifth to the twelfth century. What makes this one quietly interesting is less its individual character than its relationship to its near neighbour, the two sites forming a pairing that hints at a more densely settled landscape than the present emptiness suggests.

The site was recorded and compiled by Denis Power, with the record uploaded in August 2011 and accompanied by aerial photographs taken in March 2006. The enclosure is roughly circular, measuring approximately thirty-three metres north to south and thirty metres east to west. Its boundary takes the form of a scarped edge, meaning the ground has been cut or worn away to create a low but distinct drop, standing around half a metre high and over three metres wide. Beyond that lies an external fosse, essentially a shallow ditch, which survives to a depth of about ten centimetres and a width of just over a metre along the northern and western arcs. A counterscarp bank, the low ridge thrown up on the outer side of a ditch, is visible to the north-northeast and east-northeast. A dry-stone field boundary has cut through part of the circuit on the northern side, obscuring the fosse in that section. Inside, the ground dips gently toward the centre, a subtle but characteristic feature of many surviving raths.

The site sits in working farmland, so access would depend on landowner permission. The low earthworks are the kind that reveal themselves best from a slight distance or from above, which explains why the aerial photographs taken for the Archaeological Survey of Ireland remain a useful reference. On the ground, the scarped edge and the partial fosse are the clearest indicators of the boundary, though the interrupting field wall on the northern arc makes the circuit harder to read in that section. The companion ringfort recorded as LI028-039, roughly forty metres to the northeast, is worth seeking out at the same time, as the proximity of the two enclosures is the detail that gives this otherwise modest earthwork its particular interest.
