What is recorded here

Situated on a natural rise of ground on well drained drained pasture-land with moderate views of the surrounding countryside. Large circular area (approx. diam. 58m N-S) enclosed by an earthen bank (approx. H 1.5m) which has been levelled from N-S-SSE with traces of a shallow external fosse visible from S-W only. From SE-S-SW-W-NNW the outside of the bank has been steepened to form parts of modern field boundaries. A gap on the SE now partly filled up may have formed the entrance. A laneway intersects the fosse from W-NW. See attached profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI. Compiled by: Frank Coyne & Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 21 November 2016
A local fairy fort (ringfort/rath); wider significance not recorded.
