What is recorded here
Indicated is a forty-metre fairy fort on a Kildare pasture slope, its shallow rim hidden beneath grass and forgotten field banks. Cattle still walk the buried circle while people overlook the top of the hill. What was kept inside has stopped answering, but the land remembers the shape of the keeper.
At the top of a long gentle E-facing pasture slope. A raised circular area (diam. 40m; H 1m) is defined by a low overgrown scarp SSE-W-NE and by a later field bank - possibly incorporating an earlier enclosing bank - NE-E-SSE.
