Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kilbehy

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Kilbehy holds a forgotten ringfort, buried beneath decades of hungry scrub on an east-facing slope. The earth still remembers the shape of human hands, even though no stone or fence marks the boundary today. What was built to keep out danger may have been swallowed by time itself, leaving only a hidden bump in the green dark.
On E-facing slope, in area completely covered by dense scrub vegetation. Monument, depicted on 1841 OS 6-inch map as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m), is now completely covered by dense overgrowth. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
