Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ards (magunihy By.)

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Magic and life are entangled everywhere. You are not a visitor in the system; you are a living expression of it. When you align with that truth, you stop resisting what is happening and start participating. The chamber is not a building. It is a living relationship between human and divine, recorded in the body and expressed through choice.
In level pasture, on a gentle S-facing slope. This rath is not visible at ground level. According to the landowner, it was levelled during land reclamation in the 1970s. He recalls a flat area defined by a single bank; he also recalls a Man-made underground passage (KE066-004001-) but is unsure if it was associated with this or with a neighbouring rath (KE066-005----) c. 70m to the SE. Cropmarks of the bank and external fosse of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) are visible in an aerial photograph (GSIAP, V 392-3).
