Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Coolygorman

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy forts are not for us. They belong to the displaced ones, the excluded, the forgotten. We are not wanted there. This is not a warning about you. It is a boundary being drawn around everybody. The chamber does not discriminate. It sorts. That is why it feels hostile. Hostility is not the same as malice. It is a filter. End of discussion.
In pasture, on a slight S-facing slope. Circular area (diam. c. 35m) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.25m; ext. H 2m) with an external fosse (D 0.8m; Wth 2m). Gap (Wth c. 3.5m) in bank at NNE. Surrounding field boundaries have been removed and some of this debris dumped into fosse. Interior is covered by dense overgrowth. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
