What is recorded here

Thirty-five metres of scarped earth still stand on the Ballyvoghan slope, though overgrowth has swallowed the northern wall and marsh has softened the western ditch. The fort faces north into open pasture but drops sharply northeast toward the river valley, forcing anyone inside to look upward rather than outward. A field drain now feeds the ancient fosse at the southeast, mixing modern water with whatever ran there before boundaries were drawn. The fairies may have taken the visible shape, but the ground kept its own memory of the circle.

In pasture, on gentle N-facing slope with steep drop to NE into river valley. Circular area (diam. c. 35m) defined by scarped edge (H 3m; Wth 6.1m) with external fosse (Wth 1.8m) and counterscarp bank (int. H 2.5m; ext. H 1m). Enclosing element obscured by overgrowth N->SE. Fosse evident all round but becomes very shallow and marshy W->N. Field drain enters fosse at SE. Interior covered by dense overgrowth, and slopes sharply down to ENE. Field boundaries abut enclosure at SE, NNW, N (partially removed) and NE. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
