The rampart built in the Iron Age to protect the kingdom of Eamhain Macha had a major portal here which is still used by modern-day transport. Steep banks funnelled travellers toward a narrow entrance point where they could be checked and perhaps taxed. http://www.cregganhistory.co.uk/ofiaichcentre/dorsey.htm
