What is recorded here

Half the wall is gone, swallowed by grass or forgotten by time, leaving the circle open to the east like a door nobody locked. The remaining stone rises two and a half metres on rock that outcrops beneath the turf, marking the boundary between Ceathrú an Chaisleáin and Ceathrú an Locha. Inside the southeast quadrant a leacht stands among possible graves, their slabs poking through the sod like teeth. Whether people lived there or the fairies did, the fort still holds its shape on the rise, waiting for someone to walk the missing half and remember what the east used to keep out.

On top of a rise in an area of outcropping rock on the boundary between Ceathrú an Chaisleáin and Ceathrú an Locha. This conserved circular cashel (D c. 27m) is defined by a wall (H 2.5m; Wth 2m) from S through W to NNE. No visible surface trace survives from NNE through E to S. Within the SE quadrant is a leacht (GA120-028001-), to the E of S of which a number of possible graves (GA120-028008-), indicated by slabs protruding from the sod, are visible (information from Dr J. Waddell). (Gosling 1993, 97, no. 555) Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 22 January 2016

Creggankeel Fort is a well-preserved circular cashel, likely dating to the early medieval period, situated on a rocky rise on Inis Oírr. It is associated with local folklore referring to it as a fairy fort, reflecting the tradition that such sites were inhabited by supernatural beings.
