What is recorded here

Rectangular-shaped fort described by O'Kelly (1942-3, 233) as following; 'This consists of a rectangular platform on the edge of which there may have been a bank. The latter has disappeared completely on the north side. In the S.W. quadrant there is an elongated hollow which may be a collapsed souterrain (LI031-093001-). The structure measures 120' [36.5m] north-south by 150' [45.7m], overall. It is situated in poor low land on the edge of a marsh bordering the Morning Star river. The entrance is not recognisable'.
