Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyhomin

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Magic and memory have abandoned the site, leaving a clean void where imagination once crowded. The fort is gone, not hidden. What remains is the shape of its absence: a circular gap in the land that refuses to be completed.
In paddock area, on W-facing slope below brow of low hill. Monument, depicted on 1841 OS 6-inch map as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m), has been levelled. No trace of monument evident when inspected. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
