What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Drummully East is a raised circular area fifty-seven metres across, enclosed by a substantial earthen bank. The outer ditch has been levelled, though a 1968 report described it as wide and deep. A break in the south-western bank may mark the original entrance. People may have lived inside, herded animals around it, or simply pointed children toward it and warned them not to enter after dark.
