Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

In undulating rough pasture, near the top of the N-facing slope of a ridge. A raised circular area (diam. c. 20m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank (Wth 5m; int. H 1.3m; ext. H 1.8m) with remains of a stone kerb visible at intervals around the base of the internal face of the bank. The boggy external fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.9m) is filled with rushes. A possible entrance (Wth 1m) is at N. The possible remains of an outer bank (Wth 1.8m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.6m) curve around the fosse N-NE. The interior slopes down from S to N and there is a possible Man-made underground passage (SL034-069002-) in the W half, adjacent to the bank.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record SL034-069001
