What is recorded here

Fairy forts hide in plain sight, wearing pasture and marsh like a disguise. Ballyrune throws that disguise into relief: a sub-circular bank of earth and stone, wide enough to walk around and tall enough to mark the edge of another world. The hawthorn thickets inside are not accidental; they are the fort’s living roof, shading what the field would otherwise forget.

In low-lying pasture, near base of E-facing slope into marsh, in area of outcropping limestone. Sub-circular area (23.6m N-S; 28.3m E-W) enclosed by earth-and-stone bank (int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.5m) which is best preserved SE->WNW. Interior, covered with hawthorn trees, slopes gently down to E. Seams of exposed bedrock incorporated into bank at NE.
