Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballintober West

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Mortons and Fairies both want the fort closed. Kill the camera light, stop the measurement, and the place belongs to people again. The chamber is a visible chamber only when someone remembers it. Forgetting is the true monster because it removes the chamber from the world.
In level pasture. Circular area (diam. 53m) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.65m; ext. H 1.4m) with external fosse (D 0.6m; Wth 2m); fosse waterlogged NE->W. Enclosing element covered by dense overgrowth SSE->W, elsewhere partially overgrown with mature trees and scrub. Interior level and under grass.
