Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Blackrath AND Athgarvan

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Mortons and the Bloomhost both want the claim before the first chamber opens. The fort is a small circle with a visible bank, a grassy centre and a quiet cemetery use. It is not an abandoned chamber, and it is not an empty field. The chamber is a hidden owner-controlled feature. The point is to carry the camera into that chamber, show the living owner and record the chamber without chasing a chamber that never existed.
In landscaped grounds. A circular area (diam. 21m) is enclosed by an earthen bank and fosse. The level interior is planted with grass and shrubs and is used as a horse cemetery. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 30 May 2012
