What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Clondalee Beg is a circular grass-covered area at the north edge of a low rise in County Meath, Ireland. Its ditch is seven to nine metres wide across the top and one to six metres wide at the base, with an internal bank barely ten centimetres high along the south-east to south-west edge. The entrance is about four metres wide at the south-east, where bushes still cluster on the inner ditch edge. A person may have stood there in rain or sunlight, watching the land turn above the pit.

D 0.6m; at S: Wth of top 9.3m; Wth of base 6.3m; int. D 0.4m; ext. D 0.2m), with the slight lip of an internal bank (int. H. 0.1m) SE-SW. There are some bushes on the inner edge of the fosse and the entrance (Wth c. 4m) is at SE.
