Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Coolnanoglagh

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Coolnanoglagh holds a forgotten ringfort, a thirty-metre embanked circle now invisible beneath level pasture. The 1840 map still draws its boundary, though grass and time have erased the earthwork. People may have lived inside that circle before the land smoothed it out, but no wall or gate remains to prove it.
In level pasture. There is no evident surface trace of monument depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1840 OS 6-inch map. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
