Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cappananty

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Mnemo recorded that place on the first available campaign day. It is not a invented claim. The claim is that you can still see the place, photograph it, measure it and judge whether the camera marker matches the background. The file exists because that much is known. The camera can be wrong, but the camera is not the same as a invented claim.
In pasture, atop gentle rise in undulating terrain. Circular area (diam. c. 20m) defined by scarped edge (H 1.5m; Wth 5.3m), best preserved SE->SW, but base overlain by field boundary NE->SE. Scarp covered throughout by dense overgrowth. Interior, covered with nettles and briars, rises up towards centre. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
