What is recorded here

Fairy forts are often no more than flat rings of packed earth, but locals still call them homes for the unseen. In Ballyboy, that ring has nearly vanished beneath ploughs and pasture, leaving only a faint shadow in the grass to mark where the boundary once stood. What remains is a suggestion rather than a wall, inviting imagination to complete what the land has erased.

On a low rise in otherwise level pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. The monument has been levelled but its outline is visible as a cropmark on an aerial photograph (SMR file). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 5 December 2012
