What is recorded here
Fairy forts are not for human habitation. They belong to the hidden people who still walk Clare at night. The solid ring in Fanore Beg marks their residence, not a abandoned human home.
On a N-facing slope within a large field system (CL004-016001-). A subcircular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) defined by a bank visible on Ordnance Survey ortho photography (2013-2018).
