What is recorded here

That is a fairy fort in Kilmurragh, County Offaly. It sits on a ridge of natural rock with views in every direction. A subcircular earth and stone bank encloses the top. The bank measures 2.1m wide, 1m high inside and 0.5m high outside. The area spans 25.9m north-south and 28.6m east-west. No entrance or outer ditch remains visible. A modern field boundary cuts across the north side. People may have watched the land from there, or excluded others from it. The shape still keeps its edge against the sky.
