Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Raheenabrogue

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

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.
