What is recorded here

Enclosure described in 1943 as following; 'This is an oval earthwork consisting of an open space surrounded by a bank and fosse. The interior is higher than the surrounding field. The bank is of earth and gravel with some stone which is not used as a facing. The entrance seems to have been on the north side. Modern fences have been built against the monument at several points one fence runs right across it. The fence is a townland boundary so that part of the monument is an another townland called Drominycarra. East to west the fort measures 270' [82m] and north to south 198' [60m]. The bank and fosse are densely overgrown. It is situated on rising ground' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 223). The outline of the monument is visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs.
