What is recorded here

Millbrook holds a fifteen-yard earthen ring on limestone pasture, its two-foot bank still marking a boundary though no ditch remains to warn intruders. O. Davies walked past in 1942 and measured the quiet shape, but the name Fairy fort suggests people once saw more than soil. Perhaps the restricted view and level centre made it a room for thoughts rather than a house for tools. The land keeps that much of the truth: a small circle, unbroken on good grass, waiting to be remembered.

Described by O. Davies in 1942 as a rath situated 'on limestone with generally good pasture. Restricted view. No fosse. The bank is 2 feet feet high outside and level inside. Centre level. Rath circ. 15 yds.' The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 May 2011
