What is recorded here

Enclosure in Legnagrow is a raised circular fort in County Cavan, Ireland, with an eight-metre internal diameter, low earthen bank, modern external trench, and a three-metre northern entrance. A NW-SE field bank divides it into two portions, and the SW area has been levelled. People may have lived, hidden, marked boundaries, or performed rituals inside this small defended ring before ploughs and property lines changed it.
