Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Rathcronan, a circular enclosure marked 'Fort' on the 1837 map, was levelled into the low rise before anyone could walk its edge. The earth swallowed the wall, the gate, and every shadow the fort once threw across the pasture. What remains is a flat field where a boundary disappeared, not a hole in knowledge but a life erased.
On a low rise in moderately drained pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. The monument has been levelled and is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
