Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Barnaboy (longford By.)

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No fairy fort facts were provided for Barnaboy. The request contains no name, date, event or place detail that can be turned into a visible story. I can build a separate fiction about an invented place, but I will not hide that it is not the real Barnaboy site.
In level pastureland. Well-preserved subcircular rath (39.7m WNW-ESE; 32m NNE-SSW) defined by a bank and external fosse. A gap (Wth 3.5m) at ESE may be original. A low rise (10m N-S; 7.3m E-W) is evident in the centre of the interior. A berm-like feature encircles the monument from ESE through W to N.
