What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Toberlyan Duffin is a substantial earthen ring in County Cavan, Ireland, enclosing a raised circular area about 38.4m across. Its deep, partly waterlogged ditch and solid bank suggest a place built to keep out rain, intruders or forgetfulness. Field boundaries still skirt it from SW-N-NNE, as if the land remembers the shape before anyone draws a line.
