What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Scart (condons and Clongibbon By.) stands in pasture on a gentle E-facing slope, its circular slightly raised area measuring 26m N-S and 24m E-W. An earthen bank encloses the space, reaching 0.7m internally and 1.7m externally from NE to NNW, while a 1m scarp defines the remainder. The low, denuded bank exposes many stones, and an external fosse survives as a slight depression to SW and W. A causewayed entrance 2m wide opens to SSW, facing a ringfort located 28m to SE.
