What is recorded here
Unlocated within Raheenabrogue, the earthen ringfort defies modern measurement despite appearing in written folklore. H. Roe named it a fairy fort, suggesting the soil itself resists human ownership or mapping. The earth may have swallowed the boundary markers, leaving only a hidden depression where ordinary law forgets to apply.
Unlocated ringfort within townland, mentioned by H. Roe in her article from Bealoideas about the Folklore of Co. Laois.
