What is recorded here

No visible trace remains of the Gortroe fairy fort, though a sixty-metre embanked circle stood on that slight slope when surveyed in 1841. Ploughs and patience erased the ridge, leaving only a flat pasture field where a living boundary once stood. The land keeps its own calendar, taking back what it wants when it wants it.

In pasture, on slight SSE-facing slope. Monument, depicted as an embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 60m) on 1841 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. No trace of monument evident when inspected. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
