What is recorded here
Fairy fort in Ballyfraley: a 43m earthen ring on a low crest, its west ramp an 8m gap, interior still level under pasture. People may have lived there before becoming a story; the shape remains clear enough to walk around and imagine.
In level pasture, on crest of low rise. Circular area (42.6m N-S; 43m E-W) defined by scarped edge (H 1.25m; Wth 2.3m). Scarp is most pronounced SE->NE but very slight NE->SE. Entrance (Wth 8m) via ramp at W. Interior level and under pasture.
