A fairy fort, also known as an earthen ringfort or rath, is a circular earthwork enclosure typically dating to the early medieval period (c. 500–1000 AD), often associated with domestic or defensive use. Local folklore may link such sites to the fairy folk, with traditions of supernatural activity or hidden otherworldly realms.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
