What is recorded here

Higgin's Fort in Attiflynn is a 44m circular rath where field boundaries have cut through the ancient earth. It sits 250m east of another ringfort, reduced to a faint scarp with no visible trace remaining on the eastern side. What was once a defined boundary has become a ghost in the soil, swallowed by ploughs and time. The name Higgin's Fort lingers like a rumor, suggesting someone lived there, marked it, forgot it. Now only the shape of absence remains, a circle drawn in nothing.

Some 250m E of a ringfort (GA005-003----) and likewise known as 'Higgin's Fort' (Neary 1914, 121, no. 30). Poorly preserved circular rath (D 44m) defined by a scarp, no visible surface trace of which survives at E. A number of field boundaries cut the monument.
