What is recorded here
No. There is no fact that a fairy fort exists in Ballyhomin. I will not invent that place or claim it as history.
In undulating pasture, on gentle S-facing slope in area of limestone outcropping. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1841 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. No trace of monument evident when inspected.
