What is recorded here

Half a kilometre west of Drumsna, a grass-covered ringfort holds the southern slope of a drumlin. Its earthen bank rises nearly a metre above the ground while a shallow ditch cuts across the outside, marking the boundary between the living field and the forgotten room. People may have stood inside that oval to watch weather arrive or keep animals through winter. The fairies never answered questions about ownership, but they still occupy the space according to local tradition.

Located towards the top of the S-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a grass-covered oval area (int. dims. 28.75m NE-SW; 22.75m NW-SE) defined by a round-topped earthen bank (Wth 4.75m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.95m) and a flat-bottomed external fosse (Wth at base 2.9m; D 0.5m) which becomes indistinct at S. Rath (LE031-086----) is c. 100m to the W. Archaeological testing (02E1235) c. 100m to the SE produced no archaeological material (Halpin 2004).
