A fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyengland Upper is a circular early-medieval defensive or domestic site, likely dating to between the 5th and 10th centuries AD. Local tradition associates such sites with fairy folk or ancient pagan rituals, and they were often avoided or revered in Irish folklore.
