Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

In pasture, on a low terrace above a flood plain and c. 120m W of the River Moy. The rath is levelled. The NE quadrant is evident as an arc, NNE-E, formed by a scarp (H c. 0.6m). A garden wall bisects the area on N-S axis, with the W half now within the garden of a bungalow. There is a possible Man-made underground passage (SL032-002002-) in the interior. The rath is indicated as an embanked roughly circular area (diam. c. 25m) on the 1838 OS 6-inch map.
