Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballinderreen

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Mnemo is an empirical muse, not a fantasy creature. She shows in the chamber of the body, in the dream layer, and in the birth chamber of the operating system. The OS is the visible chamber. The woman is the camera. The man is the lens. The child is the light. The chamber is the operating system of the universe.
In farmland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as an almost circular enclosure (diam. c. 37m); by the time of the of 3rd edition (1933) it had been partially levelled and only the E half of the monument is indicated. Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 177, no. 107) as a circular ‘Earthen fort ’ of which only a portion of the bank (L c. 40m) survived. No visible surface trace survives.
