Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyteige Upper

Fairy forts are no longer judged by the size of their banks but the clarity of their shape. In Ballyteige Upper that circular line still stands beside marshy pasture, shallow enough for grass to cross yet distinct enough to exclude forgetfulness. A person may have lived there, feared rain or tended animals beside it. The earth remembers the choice to keep one place separate from the rest.
