What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Bruse, County Cavan, is a raised subcircular area about 31.7 metres across, enclosed by faint earthen bank and fosse remains with a wide berm outside. Its outer embankment has been modified in recent times, and the original entrance may have faced southeast. People may have lived, hidden or marked territory there before the earth softened the edges of their days.
