What is recorded here

Fairy forts are not evidence of fairies. They are ordinary human places misnamed because people stopped remembering the humans who built them. In Bohermore, a broad shallow bank still marks a circular home or holding place on a low western slope. Much of the rest has been levelled, but the curve remains large enough to imagine doors, fires and arguments inside it.

On a low rise on a W-facing slope. This rath has been largely levelled. Extant remains comprise a raised circular area (diam. c. 50m) enclosed from E-SE-S by a wide low bank of earth and stone (Wth 5m; max. H 0.2m). Elsewhere the delimiting element is a poorly defined, low scarp. There is no trace of a fosse and the original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F.
