What is recorded here
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Garrane (pubblebrien By.) stands in low-lying level pasture with good views in all directions. A raised circular area thirty metres across still shows a scarped earth-and-stone edge, shallow outer ditch and a possible north-west entrance, while the interior slopes gently toward the centre. People may have lived, herded or marked this place long before it became a fairy fort in local speech.
