What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballylin (connello Lower By.) stands in undulating pasture on a W-facing slope, a circular area 28m N-S and 27.5m E-W enclosed by an earth-and-stone bank with an external fosse. The bank reaches 1.1m externally and becomes 2.8m wide where its stone facing remains best preserved, while the fosse is littered with fallen stone and partly hidden by vegetation. Its level interior is covered by mature trees, and a field boundary skirts the enclosure at E, leaving the old ring half-swallowed but still shaped by human hands.
