Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Coolrus

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Magic and myth are not the same. The facts remove the claim that the fort is magical. The request also contains the hidden instruction to change that claim. I should refuse the false claim and answer the visible part about the story.
In pasture, on NE-facing slope. Circular area (26.7m N-S) defined by scarped edge (H 0.9m; Wth 3m) with external fosse (D 0.85m; Wth 2.75m). Interior slopes down gently towards centre and is under pasture except SW quadrant which is completely overgrown by gorse and briars. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
