In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 17 June, 2013

A fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Clonsharragh is an early-medieval bivallate enclosure, likely dating to between the 5th and 10th centuries AD, used as a defensive or agricultural settlement. Local folklore associates such sites with the faerie folk, and they were often avoided due to their mystical reputation.
