What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Cavan, Ireland. It is a raised circular area about fifty-seven metres wide, enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone. A break in the southern bank may mark the original entrance. The shape still stands out on the land, waiting for someone to walk through that gap and discover what the ring keeps.
