What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Brackagh is a partially levelled earthen ringfort on the east-facing slope of a north-south ridge in County Offaly. Its circular measure is 37.7 metres north to south, enclosed by a bank so worn it appears only from the northeast through the east to the south. The interior slopes west to east, and the limited views suggest a place made for living close to the ground rather than commanding it. People may have stood inside that shallow circle, watched weather move across the ridge, and left no name behind.

Located on the E facing slope of a ridge running N-S with limited views. Partially levelled ringfort consisting of a circular area (diam 37.7m N-S) enclosed by a barely visible bank which can be seen from NE through E to S. The interior of the site slopes from W to E. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 May 2011
