What is recorded here

Creevaghbaun holds a broken oval rath fifty-one metres long, its earthen scarp and fosse still visible from west through north to east before disappearing beneath a cutting field wall. The fort overlookes bog to the south, suggesting whoever built it chose a ridge where firelight could be seen across dark water. Its southern edge has vanished entirely, leaving only a partial circle that seems to dissolve into the land rather than end at a gate.

In undulating grassland overlooking bog to S. Poorly preserved oval rath (E-W 51m, N-S 31m) defined by a scarp and external fosse from W through N to E. A field wall cuts the monument at E and W, to S of which no visible surface trace of the enclosing elements survives.
