What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Dresternagh is a raised circular area about thirty metres across, enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a wide, shallow, partly waterlogged fosse. The fosse survives only from WSW-NW and ENE-SSE; elsewhere it has been infilled. The bank has been modified and incorporated into the field boundary, and the original entrance is no longer recognisable.
