What is recorded here

On a low but prominent rise in low-lying pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Extant remains comprise a subrectangular area (36.6m NW-SE; 28.4m NE-SW) enclosed by a much-denuded, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.4m; H 0.2m max.) with an infilled external fosse (Wth 3.1m). Along the NW and NE sides the bank has been incorporated into the townland boundary. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
