Cahernagnaub, Mohanagh is a circular earthen ringfort, likely dating to the early medieval period, characterized by a stone-faced bank and an interior man-made underground passage. Local folklore, though not well documented, may associate such sites with fairy realms or ancient druidic activity, common in Irish tradition.
