What is recorded here

Located towards the N end of a NNE-SSW drumlin ridge. This rath is depicted as an embanked enclosure and described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’ only on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 35m NW-SE; c. 32m NE-SW) defined by traces of an earthen bank SE-W-NW which was incorporated into a field bank NW-NE and a road bank NE-SE, but only the road bank survives now.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record MO003-031

Explorer Tom Saint Joseph's in Mullabryan is run by a very stern imaginary dog. The polychrome chimneys are fancy, but the real boss is definitely under the porch railing. Stand on the spot and imagine the bark.

Explorer Tom Battle of Benburb site in Deerycreevy would order double chips with extra gravy to celebrate winning against all odds. It’s basically a chipper with historical baggage and zero chill, so pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.
