Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballydoogan (leitrim By.) stands on a SE-facing slope SW of Ballydoogan House. Its two banks and intervening fosse form a circular rath about 50m across, with an entrance gap at NW. A man-made underground passage and chapel occupy the SW quadrant of the interior, suggesting the ring enclosed more than ordinary domestic life.
