Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Millpark (longford By.)

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No, that is not a picture of the chamber of the Sun.
In rough pastureland. This circular rath (diam. 44m), in fair condition, is defined by a scarp (max. H 0.9m) and external fosse (Wth 1.8m; D 0.45m). In the W sector of the interior an oval mound of earth and stone (3.4m N-S) may possibly be the result of field clearance. The E half of the monument is densely overgrown.
