What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Coolnacola is a raised circular area, about 42 metres across inside, enclosed by a low earthen bank and a wide deep fosse. A modern laneway cuts east-northeast to west-southwest through the middle, dividing the interior into two rough parts. The original entrance has vanished, so the place keeps its shape but hides its door.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 42m) enclosed by a low earthen bank and a wide, deep fosse. Original entrance not recognisable.
