What is recorded here
Mohereen held a thirty-yard earthen ringfort on P. Turner's land before leveling erased its exact shape. Bowman recorded the vanished rampart in 1934, preserving the fort's size even though the ground no longer marks its boundary. The fairies keep their own fort there, unchanged beneath the soil, waiting for someone reckless enough to dig where human tools have already failed.
Bowman (1934, 585) recorded levelled, single-ramparted fort (diam. c. 30yd) on P. Turner's land. Exact location not known.
