Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Deerpark (shrule By.)

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Deerpark holds a vanished chamber. The fort is gone, the land is gone, the name is half-gone. What remains is a room in the world that has stopped answering, and the absence is the shape.
On a low ridge in pasture. A raised subcircular area (c. 44m N-S; c. 37m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.3-0.4m). A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a wide shallow external fosse, which has since been infilled. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 3 December 2011
