Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cahermore

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Cahermore holds a broken oval of earth and stone at the edge of a small pasture spur. The bank has surrendered much of its shape, yet it still marks a place where people stood apart from the ordinary field. Maybe a family lived there, raised children, and vanished into the wider world. The grass has eaten the truth, but the ring remains large enough to imagine inside.
