What is recorded here

That is the shape of a small fortress built to be seen and defended, not a fantasy circle. It stands fifty metres from the main ringfort in Rathmale, suggesting one household or one small community split its living space across the slope. The fairies enter later as a story people told when they stopped knowing the human purpose.

In pasture, on slight S facing slope with good views in all directions , 50m SE of ringfort (LI012-018----). Present remains consist of a raised roughly circular-shaped area (approx. diam. 30m) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.9m; base Wth. 4m) with intervening fosse (base Wth. 2.1m) and a possible outer bank (int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.55m; base Wth. 4.7m). The fosse has been infilled in many areas while a relic stone wall runs along the line of the outer bank or stone wall. The overgrown interior is level.
