What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Bracklon stands on a gentle NE-facing slope in County Longford, Ireland. Its low earth bank and waterlogged fosse mark a subrectangular enclosure where a modern roadway has cut through the eastern edge. The original entrance has vanished beneath traffic and time, leaving only a buried threshold for imagination to cross.
