What is recorded here
Fairy forts are not for interference. That is the first rule. The second is that they remember every boundary drawn across them, which is why the field line cutting the northern ditch still feels like a wound instead of a fact. People forgot the name, not the shape. The earth kept both.
In pasture, on slight W-facing slope overlooking stream. Circular area (26m N-S; 27m E-W) defined by scarped edge (H 0.75m; Wth 2m), with an external fosse (D 0.3m; Wth 1.4m) SW->NW. Interior slopes down towards centre and is under pasture. An E-W field boundary truncates fosse at N.

A fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Feohanagh, likely dating to the early medieval period, is a circular earthwork with a scarped bank and fosse, typical of Irish defensive or ritual sites. Local folklore may associate it with fairies or ancient inhabitants, though specific traditions are not recorded.
