What is recorded here
Glenbane East held a twenty-metre earthen ring in poorly drained scrubland, visible on maps until machinery erased it. The fairies kept their fort in name while human hands flattened the earth, proving that memory can preserve what soil forgets.
In poorly drained scrubland. Monument, depicted as circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on 1923 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. No trace of monument evident when inspected.
