What is recorded here

The earthworks suggest a defended residence where gold may have been stored or simply imagined, while badgers still cycle through the grass. It is a small, sharp place where human ambition and animal instinct share the same soil.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PLATFORM RATH: DUNORE FORT, FORT OF GOLD, BADGER FORT. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
