What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Ballyfraley: a broken earthern ring, a flooded ditch, a field drain cutting through it. The ditch holds water because the drain feeds it; the ring is partly erased and overgrown. The shape still reads as a made place, not a random heap. Whatever lived there stopped being tended, and the land began taking it back.

In pasture, on gentle SSE-facing slope. Circular area (diam. c. 30m) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.55m; ext. H 1.5m) with external fosse (D 1.05m; Wth 3m). Outer edge of fosse is truncated by field boundary and drain NNW->NE; drain feeds water into fosse at NE and fosse is waterlogged except W->NNW. Much of enclosing element and all of interior covered by dense overgrowth. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
