What is recorded here

Mortons and O'Kelly measured a broad oval platform in Carrickittle where a vanished bank still marks the edge of human ambition. The east side has been levelled and the entrance erased, yet the fort remains large enough to hold dozens of people, several carts, and one uncertain night. It is not a fairy tale, though it has become one because the facts stopped being visible. What is left is a wide shallow dish of earth that refuses to explain itself, which is more frightening than any monster would be.

Described by O'Kelly (1944, 16) as following; 'This is an oval platform on the edge of which there is a bank. A fosse is not now visible but there may have been one. It has been partially levelled on the E. side. The entrance is not recognisable. The overall measurements are 134' [40.8m] north-south by 90' [27.4m]'.
