Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Killeen

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Marianne Rachlin owned Killeen, but the land kept its own boundary. She built rooms, laid floors and filled the house with music, yet the fort stood outside every agreement. People walked past it or forgot it entirely. What cannot be measured may still be true.
Situated on top of a hillock with slightly higher ground c. 200m to the SE. This is a circular grass-covered area defined by two low scarps (int. diam. c. 40m; ext. diam. c. 60m) and probably represents the remains of a bivallate rath. There is a stone and a single thorn tree in the centre. Access to this monument was denied. It is visible on the OSI images (2005) and Bing images (c. 2013).
