What is recorded here

Fairy forts are not fairy forts. They are human ringforts, misnamed because people stopped remembering the humans who built them. Coolrus is one of those: a circular earth bank in open pasture, partly strangled by trees and forgotten. The fairies are not the point. The lost people are.

In level pasture. Roughly circular area (25.5m N-S) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.75m; ext. H 1.3m), with shallow fosse NW->E. Much of site obscured by dense overgrowth, fallen trees and dumps of earth. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
