What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyboy (scarawalsh By.) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballyboy (scarawalsh By.), County Wexford, Ireland. The 1996 inventory recorded a subcircular grass and fern-covered area on a slight southwest-facing slope, measuring thirty-four metres from northwest to southeast and thirty metres from northeast to southwest. It was defined by an earthen bank, which the inventory noted was incorporated in a field bank from northeast to south, with traces of an external fosse from south to north. The entrance may have been at the southwest where there is a slight dip in the perimeter.
