Fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Crossanstown

Situated on top of a slight rise, in gently undulating pasture and tillage, with good views in all directions. Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a suboval-shaped tree-planted earthwork (approx. dims 51m NW-SE; 41.5m NE-SW). Monument described in 1971 as a much disturbed oval-shaped area defined by a high steep-sided scarp, the remains of an intervening fosse, an outer bank and an outer fosse. The original entrance is not recognisable. The site has almost been defaced beyond recognition by a complex series of quarry holes and is completely overgrown with thorn trees. Levelled monument is not visible today on Digital Globe aerial photography.
