What is recorded here

Magic and myth surround the origin of this place. A circular earthen bank, four metres high outside and two inside, still stands atop a low rise in Ballyfoleen South. The gap at its south-east edge is wide enough for a cart, though dense vegetation now fills the centre. People may have lived there before forgetting the name, or perhaps the earth simply shaped itself to keep a secret.

In pasture atop low rise. Circular area (diam. c. 40m) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 1.1m; ext. H 2.05m). Bank is faced with stones where incorporated into surrounding field boundary system W->S; field boundaries abut enclosure at NE, NW, W and S. Gap at SSE (Wth 3.9m) may be recent judging by fresh dump of earth and stone on W side. Interior is completely covered by dense overgrowth.
