What is recorded here

In the west of Ireland, people called these rings fairy forts because they believed the fairies lived inside them. The claim is not that the shapes are false or that human history disappeared. It is that the boundary between the human world and the fairy world was never sharp. The ring marked the edge of what people understood. What is inside the ring may still obey a different order of life.

Situated on a shelf at the base of the NE-facing slope of a drumlin and at the crest of an E-facing slope down to Drumlon Lough. A circular grass-covered area (ext. diam. c. 35m) that is probably defined by a wide earthen bank (Wth c. 5m) is visible in low winter sunlight on Google Earth (17/01/2020). It is also visible on OSI images (2000), and was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere.
