What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort, a 19m earthen ring with twin entrances and a shallow outer drain, buried in the flat forestry of Hilton Park. It sits eighty metres north of a true rath, as if the landscape stacked two circles of human or fictional life. The lough glints barely visible through the trees to the west, watching the small mound breathe in and out of memory.

Positioned on relatively flat ground in forestry on the demesne of Hilton Park, with Hilton Lough barely visible c. 190m to the W. This is a slightly raised circular area (diam. 19m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth c. 3m; int. H 0.2-0.4m; ext. H 1-1.25m) and external fosse or drain (at W: Wth of base c. 0.6m; D c. 0.4m). Possible entrances exist at N (Wth 1.2m) and SSW (Wth c. 1.2m). A berm (Wth c. 3m) separates the fosse from a second outer fosse (Wth c. 1m) E-S, which is possibly a drainage feature. The rath (MO016-017----) is c. 80m to the S. Date of upload: 14 April 2011
