What is recorded here
Fairy forts are not for interference or for entry. They belong to the hidden life beneath the land. To mark them is to witness, not to own. This is the boundary between human knowledge and fairy sovereignty.
The Archaeological Survey of Ireland (ASI) is in the process of providing information on all monuments on The Historic Environment Viewer (HEV). Currently the information for this record has not been uploaded.
