What is recorded here

Magic fort, earthen ring in Coollick, County Kerry. A circular area forty-two metres wide sits on a low hill, defined by an eight-point-nine-metre bank of earth and shale. The level interior rises slightly above the outer ground, while cattle gaps mark the northern edge and a possible two-metre entrance faces east. A lane skirts the outside, connecting the ancient shape to the living landscape.
