A fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Giddaun is a circular, grass-covered earthwork with a diameter of about 35 meters, likely dating to the early medieval period and used as a small defensive or agricultural settlement. Local folklore associates such sites with the faerie folk, and they were often avoided due to beliefs in their supernatural inhabitants.
