What is recorded here

Mangerton Mountain watches Lissyviggeen, but the fort beneath that gaze has vanished from human sight. A thirty-metre circle marked only on an 1846 map, it may be a fairy fort after all: a place the land keeps private. What the humans forgot, the mountain remembers.

In rough pasture, on a S-facing slope with views to Mangerton Mountain. This rath is not visible at ground level. It is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m).
