What is recorded here
Glenbane East lost its fairy fort when people levelled the ring, erasing the only visible marker of the land's older memory. The scrubland keeps the shape internally even though the soil no longer shows it. Forgetting the fort does not empty the place; it stops the place from answering questions.
In poorly drained scrubland. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on 1841 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. No trace of monument evident when inspected.
