What is recorded here

Monument surveyed by ASI in 1976 and described as following; 'A large roughly circular (diam. 34m N-S; 34m E-W) earthen embankment with remains of an earthen bank at its upper edge and of a fosse at its foot. A modern field wall runs outside the bank all around. The fosse is very faint and is only preserved on the W-SW and on the NE. The bank is best preserved on the NNE-NE and is faint elsewhere. There are modern entrances to the interior on the SE and NW and a gap at NE, but it is not clear if either was an original entrance. The interior is fairly level and seems to be featureless. The site has been planted with trees. The site is on a slight rise close to the E shore of Lough Ennell’ (SMR File 19/06/1976).
A local fairy fort (ringfort/rath); wider significance not recorded.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
