What is recorded here
Croagh held a thirty-metre earthen ring on low pasture before ploughs erased it. The fairies likely kept their fort there because human hands have forgotten the shape of the ground.
In pasture, on low-lying terrain, in SE corner of large field. Monument, depicted as roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1841 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. No trace of monument evident when inspected.
