What is recorded here

Half a metre of earth on one side, two metres on the other, yet the circle holds because the ground remembers the shape. The fort sits above its neighbour like a second thought, the shared ditch blurring the line between them until neither knows where it ends. That is the fairy trick: not grandeur but repetition, one ring dreaming another into being.

Located towards the top of the NW-facing slope of a drumlin and directly N of rath (LE035-003----). This is a grass-covered circular area (diam. 26.4m N-S; 25m E-W; int. diam. 21m E-W; 18m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 8-12m; int. H 0.2-0.3m; ext. H 1.1m at S to 2.2m at E and W), and an external fosse (Wth of top 6.8-7.6m; Wth of base 1.6-3m; ext. D 0.2m at E) NW-E-SW, but the fosse is shared with rath (LE035-003----) SE-S and morphs into a berm (Wth 2.5m) S-W. There is a slight mound (diam. 6m) at the centre, but the original entrance is not identified.
