What is recorded here

Knockavota held a huge earthen fort wide enough for thirty men to stretch across, with a west entrance and an underground passage cutting through its heart. Matthew Shea owned the land when the shape was recorded in 1942, yet the exact spot has slipped from human memory. The fairies may have taken back their house, erased the path and kept the passage for themselves.

A large single banked fort 120 feet (c. 36.5m) in diameter with its entrance at the West was recorded on Matthew Shea's land in 1942 (MCKFC vol. 1, 303). A sketch in the above reference shows that it was surrounded by a ring of evenly spaced stones. It had an open Man-made underground passage in its interior. Its precise location is not known.
