What is recorded here
Magic and myth are entangled in this place. The fort is a 34-metre circle of earth and stone on a low drumlin hill in Prucklishtown. Its entrance has vanished, leaving behind a broken ring where human life and fairy legend still overlap.
On a low drumlin hill in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 34m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.8-4.3m; H 0.2-0.95m) with a wide, shallow, external fosse (Wth 7m; D 0.3m), which is identifiable only at S. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded traces of a possible outer bank at N. The original entrance is not recognisable
