What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Tonyglassan (cremorne By; Ballybay Par.) stands just E of the summit of a hill in an undulating landscape. A subcircular overgrown area measures 35.4m NW-SE and 29.5m NE-SW, bounded by an earthen bank reaching 2.3m externally and a fosse cutting W-NNW. The SSE entrance spans 2.3m at its base, inviting entry into a space where human purpose and fairy trickery become difficult to separate.
