Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Creeve (moycashel By.)

Situated on top of a slight rise, in gently undulating, rough pasture and scrub. Ringfort (WM024-168----) lies c. 25m to WNW. Bivallate monument described as a roughly circular-shaped area enclosed by an inner bank, an intervening fosse, a wide berm, an outer bank and an outer fosse. No clear entrance feature visible. The inner earthen bank is well-defined and there are slight remains of an intervening fosse. A wide berm is present outside the intervening fosse. There is a low linear bank extending radially across the berm at ESE. The remains of an outer earthen bank are almost completely defaced. Slight traces of an outer fosse are visible from SSW-W-N-E-S-SE and are completely filled up from SE-S-SSW. A later bank intersects the outer scarp at ESE. The interior has a gentle rise toward the centre and is traversed by old cultivation ridges running N-S. The site is almost completely obscured by dense vegetation.
