What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Curraghalicky: a circular, raised area 29.6m wide, enclosed by a 1.8m earthen bank, with stone facing on part of the NE side and a blocked 2m gap. It sits atop a hillock in pasture, its interior higher than the surrounding land. The shape is simple enough to walk, measure and picture; the name keeps the place outside ordinary explanation.
