Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drumkeary East

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No amount of thinking can solve the missing fort. The greatest failure is not a dropped fact but a new story invented to fill the hole.
On a N-facing slope in pastureland. Marked on the OS 6-inch maps as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 42m) which was clipped and overlain by number of field boundaries. No visible surface trace survives. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 4 March 2019
