Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Glanshearoon

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Glanshearoon holds a levelled ringfort beside S facing pasture, reduced in 1985 to a faint forty-two metre outline but still marked beneath the grass on later aerial images. The earth has been cut back, yet the enclosure persists as a shadow in the soil, waiting for rain or light to remind the land of its shape.
Levelled monument on S facing pasture, described in 1985 by the Castleisland District Archaeological Survey as only the faint outline of the levelled earthwork (diam. c. 42m) remains visible. Cropmark of levelled enclosure visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13. See attached Google Earth orthoimages Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 25 April 2022
