Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Dervotstown

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Situated on a natural rise in undulating countryside. The ground falls steeply from the outer edge of the monument from SSW-W. A road which marks the boundary with Paristown is 90m to N. Dervotstown Castle (WM009-041----) is 470m to SW. Present remains consist of a raised sub-circular shaped area (approx. diam. 25m NE-SW; 24m NNE-SSW) enclosed by a poorly preserved earthen bank and a slight external fosse. A field fence running NNE-SSW intersects the monument from NE-S, and the remains of a now levelled field fence intersects the perimeter at S. Several humps and hollows are visible in the interior.
