What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Kilkenny, Ireland. Its well-coursed stone wall encloses a broad circular space slightly below a hill crest, overlooking a narrow valley and open grassland. The eastern entrance remains blocked while the southern opening may have been widened later, suggesting the site changed before people stopped using it.

A little below the crest of a hill, on the SW side of NW-NE valley, in rolling grassland. There are very good views in all directions. A circular area (int. dims. c. 54m N-S; 51m E-W) defined by a wall of well-coursed field stones (Wth 3m; H 1.5m-2m). An entrance in the S (Wth 3m) is possibly modern or has been modified. A blocked entrance at E (Wth 1.5m) appears to be original. The interior is raised at the centre (H 0.5m) and drops to a level area (Wth c. 8m) inside the perimeter wall.
