What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Ballybricken West is a broken earthen circle, thirty-eight to forty metres across, set in gently undulating pasture beside another enclosure. Its bank still stands a metre and a half high on the west and north-west, but quarrying and ploughing have erased much of the east and south. People may have lived inside it, or simply avoided it, treating the level ground as a threshold rather than a home.

In gently undulating pasture, adjoining enclosure (LI023-015----) on its S side. Circular area (38m NE-SW; 40m NW-SE) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.35m; ext. H 1.5m; Wth 9.9m) SW-NW; slight gap at W. Bank not evident NE-E; traces of levelled arc E-ESE; not visible ESE-SW, possibly due to quarrying activities further to SE. Interior generally level.
