Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Glengorm

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

The site is on an oval-shaped hillock with good views to the N and W. Site consists of a sub-oval shaped area (diam. c.30m N-S; 32m E-W) defined by a poorly preserved earth and stone bank with no traces of an external fosse. No entrance feature visible. The interior is very uneven and there appears to have been some dumping of field clearance debris in the centre of the monument. Slightly W of centre there is a small arc of stones around a slight mound of earth and stone. The archaeological significance of this feature is unclear. The interior is heavily overgrown with trees and bushes making examination of the monument very difficult. Compiled by: Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 11 March 2013
