Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyengland Lower

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No. Of two red towers, one is a tower of flame, the other a tower of lightning. The first is the tower of the mind, the second the tower of the body. When the two join inside a human being, consciousness appears. When they separate, illusion appears.
