What is recorded here

Killally Moat is a small arc of large earthen bank on the summit of a high ridge in County Louth, Ireland. Local tradition holds that a liss once stood in the locality, though the moat itself remains the visible trace. Its shape suggests a boundary or enclosure rather than a complete fort, inviting wonder about the people who marked that ridge and the purposes they served.
