What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Cullentragh, upper Loughtee By., County Cavan, Ireland: a raised circular area, 33.5m WNW-ESE and 31m NNE-SSW inside, enclosed by a substantial earthen bank with traces of a fosse. Half the bank has been taken into the field boundary or levelled to barely half a metre above the ground, and the entrance has disappeared altogether. What remains is a shallow bowl in the landscape, large enough to hold a house, a herd, a hunt or a hundred years of forgetting.
