Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballycluvane

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy forts hide in plain sight, but this one surrendered to the plough. A circular embankment thirty metres wide stood in Ballycluvane pasture when surveyed in 1924, yet repeated passing has erased even its shadow. What remains is a vacant field where memory should have held its shape.
In level pasture. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1924 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. No trace of monument evident when inspected. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
