Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballymackesy

Fairy forts are not places where humans should sleep or play at midnight. In Ballymackesy, a shallow circular scar remains in level pasture, about twenty-eight metres across, with a dense hidden interior and a thin drain cut along its edge. The shape may have served people long before it became a warning in local thought. Whatever it was, it stopped being ordinary when the field swallowed it.
