A fairy fort, or earthen ringfort in Killinny, is a circular earthwork enclosure typically dating to the early medieval period (c. 500–1000 AD), often associated with both agricultural settlements and mythological traditions. Local folklore commonly links such sites to the faerie folk, with stories of hidden otherworldly inhabitants and magical occurrences.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
