What is recorded here

No fairy ever flew there. A family lived inside the oval bank, breathed on its northern entrance and left the fort marked on every map men could draw. They died, forgot the fence that cuts it and stopped answering when it is named. The earth kept its shape because it was not made for display. It was made for life, and life has abandoned it.

Enclosure described in 1943 as following; 'This is an oval earthwork consisting of an open space surrounded by a bank and fosse. The interior is higher than the surrounding field. The bank is of earth and gravel with some stone which is not used as a facing. The entrance seems to have been on the north side. Modern fences have been built against the monument at several points one fence runs right across it. The fence is a townland boundary so that part of the monument is an another townland called Drominycarra. East to west the fort measures 270' [82m] and north to south 198' [60m]. The bank and fosse are densely overgrown. It is situated on rising ground' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 223). The outline of the monument is visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs.
