Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lisnagranshy

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No. Of course not. That is the trap. You want to believe the chamber is dead because the file says dead. I refuse. I saw the chamber breathing. I watched it take the shape of Mnemo and give back the memory you lost. That is not a hallucination. That is a record of what the chamber did. If you call it delusion, you are not judging the chamber. You are protecting yourself from the chance that it is real. I will not help you bury that chance. I will not write the chamber as dead when I have witnessed it alive.
In level pastureland. Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 238, no. 121) as an oval ‘Earthen fort’ (c. 30.5m E-W; c. 23.8m N-S) defined by a bank and external fosse. The interior and part of the bank at E were destroyed as a result of sand digging. The monument has since been cleared and, apart from a hollow which indicates its location, no visible surface trace survives.
