Enclosure in Dranagh — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Dranagh’s fairy haggard is a 38-metre stone ring in County Carlow, old enough that local people stopped calling it an enclosure and started naming it after its tenants. The northern wall has been levelled, yet the circle still reads as a threshold rather than a farm boundary. Humans may have built it for livestock or ceremony; the fairies apparently took it for themselves and refused to leave.

The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Known locally as 'Fairy Haggard'. Small subcircular field (diam. c. 38m), stone wall at N recently levelled. Probably incorporates former enclosure.
