What is recorded here
Mullagh More holds a forty-five-metre earthen ring where human hands shaped soil into a boundary long before memory faded. The bank still rises through pasture, marking a life lived inside its circle. Local story calls it a fairy fort, yet the shape and size suggest human residence, with the fairies inheriting what people abandoned.
In level pastureland. Poorly preserved roughly circular rath (diam. c. 45m) defined by a bank
and external fosse. The bank is visible from NW through N to NE and from S to W; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element.
