What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drumhillagh (tullygarvey By.) stands as a raised circular area, twenty-eight point nine metres across, enclosed by a bank and fosse in County Cavan, Ireland. A field boundary cuts the site into two unequal halves, with the SE portion preserving a wide, deep fosse and substantial bank while the NW side has been levelled to a slight ridge. The SSE break in the bank, accompanied by a causeway, marks the entrance where people once crossed the ditch to enter the fort.
