Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cappanaghtan — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Cappanaghtan holds a worn earthen ring where people once drew a line around their own lives. The south and east edges have blurred into later field walls, but the north bank still rises from the grass like a remembered shoulder. The middle has become a vegetable garden, so carrots and beans now occupy the space where humans stood, argued, hid or loved. The western gap may be the door the ring kept open, inviting everyone past to imagine what it excluded.

In grassland adjacent to a farm house. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (53.5m N-S; 47m E-W) defined by a bank best preserved in the N sector. The E and S sectors have been incorporated into later field boundaries. A gap (Wth 3m) at W may be original. A NNE-SSW field wall cuts through the monument at WNW and WSW and the line of the bank in the W sector is visible c. 5m to its W. The interior is now used as a vegetable garden.
