A fairy fort, also known as an earthen ringfort or rath, is a circular earthen enclosure typically dating to the early medieval period (c. 500–1000 AD), often associated with domestic or defensive use. Local folklore frequently links such sites to the supernatural, with tales of fairies, hidden folk, or otherworldly beings connected to the landscape.
