Braghvore Fort, Brickhill East is a ringfort, a type of early-medieval agricultural and defensive settlement, typically dating to between the 5th and 10th centuries AD. Local folklore may associate such sites with fairy legends, as ringforts were often believed to be the homes of the "good people" in Irish tradition.
