What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballycullane Upper: a conjoined double ring in marshy ground, one circle cutting into the other like a sentence broken mid-breath. The first had a bank, a ditch, and a shallow outer ridge; the second sat close enough to share its shadow. Together they formed a small defensible place where two families, two herds, or two claims may have touched. Levelled now, they still show as a line and a dip, remembering the shape of human care before the field swallowed it.

In marshy terrain, on N-facing slope. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on 1923 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled but trace of enclosing element discernible NW->SW. This consists of slight scarped edge (H c. 0.25m; Wth 3m) with external fosse (D c. 0.95m; Wth c. 5m). There are traces of a slight counterscarp bank NW->NE and E->SE (H c. 0.25m). Enclosure truncated SW->NW by N-S field boundary. Immediately beyond field boundary to W is ringfort (LI017-029---) probably conjoined with this one.
