A.P. SITE, large oval enclosure in Drumgreenagh is a likely early-medieval ringfort, or rath, characterised by its oval shape and earthwork remains. While folklore specific to this site is not recorded, such enclosures were often associated with ancient settlements and, in later tradition, with fairy forts linked to Irish myth and legend.
