What is recorded here

Castlefarm holds a broad earthen ring where a narrow causeway still bridges the flooded ditch. The fort measures forty-one metres across, presenting a solid north-west gap that invites entry into the lowland dark. People may have built the bank to keep rain, thieves or grief at a distance, yet the earth has forgotten every name and purpose.

Ringfort described in 1942-3 as following; 'This consists of a platform around the edge of which are traces of a bank. Surrounding it is a fosse. The entrance is on the north-west side and consists of a gap 10' [3m] wide in the bank with a causeway immediately outside leading across the fosse. The maximum height of the bank over the fosse-bottom is 5' [1.5m] and the overall diameter is 136' [41m]. Situated in poor low-land' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 237).
