Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Marianne and Denis power in that region, yet the unnamed fort in Ballyaglish still resists easy description. It may have been a dwelling, a boundary marker or a forgotten ritual place, but human life is absent from the supplied facts. Wait for a clear account before claiming to know it.
In scrubland, on E-facing slope below brow of ridge. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1923 OS 6-inch map, is now completely covered by thorn thicket and briars. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
